Trusted by Aerospace Leaders for Precision Components

From hollow ball bearings to Inconel fasteners, Crenshaw Die & Manufacturing has been a trusted partner to aerospace OEMs and defense contractors. We bring decades of experience in stamping, forming, machining, and fabrication—serving both commercial and military applications.

Why Crenshaw for Aerospace Work

  • High-spec materials: We routinely work with high-performance alloys such as titanium, Inconel, aluminum, stainless steel, and specialty aerospace grades.
  • Tight tolerances & consistency: Aerospace parts demand precision — we deliver with rigorous QC, repeatability, and traceability.
  • In-house tooling control: Our die & tooling capabilities allow close control, fast iteration, and minimal outsourcing.
  • Integrated processes under one roof: From blanking to finishing, all manufacturing steps (stamping, deep draw, forming, machining, fabrication, assemblies) are handled with consistency and reduced part-handling risk.
  • Compliance & traceability: We maintain detailed documentation, inspection records, and quality systems aligned with aerospace standards.
