Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing

What Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing does

Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing (CAM), founded in 2012 and headquartered in Brea, California, is a U.S.-based precision aerospace components manufacturer organized into eight operating divisions (Bristol Industries, 3V Fasteners, Moeller Manufacturing & Supply, Aerofit, QRP, E.A. Patten, Voss Industries, and Prikos & Becker). Across roughly 1,400 employees and 800,000+ square feet of manufacturing space in the United States, the company designs and produces three core product categories: fasteners (self-locking nuts, gang channel nuts, bolts, screws, washers, spacers, shims), high- and low-pressure fluid fittings (axial and radial swage, welded, flareless, beam seal, ring lock, and Shape Memory Alloy-based CryoFit/CryoFlare/CryoLive systems), and engineered products (complex sheet metal, tube assemblies, latches, quick release pins, clamps, couplings, flanges, heat shields, and bulge-formed components). Underlying capabilities include advanced forming, machining, and assembly across exotic alloys (CRES, titanium, Inconel, Waspalloy, multi-phase materials), backed by AS9100D plus multiple NADCAP accreditations (Chemical Processing, Heat Treat, Materials Testing, NDT, Welding, Fluid Distribution, Measurement & Inspection) and granted U.S. and foreign patents on core fitting, latch, and coupling technologies.

CAM operates as a tier-2/3 direct supplier to major commercial and defense aerospace OEMs — Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, GE Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and NASA — with components specified into flight-critical applications across narrow-body, wide-body, fighter, transport, and rocket programs. Revenue mechanics are direct B2B hardware sales under long-cycle specification and contractual supply arrangements, augmented by an account-based e-commerce storefront (shop.camaerospace.com) for repeat ordering. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company was acquired by Stanley Black & Decker in 2020, then sold to Howmet Aerospace (NYSE:HWM) in April 2026 for $1.8 billion in cash, at which point CAM became a wholly owned subsidiary expected to contribute $485-495 million in FY2026 revenue at greater than 20% adjusted EBITDA margin.

Core offering

CAM designs and manufactures precision aerospace components including fasteners (self-locking nuts, gang channel nuts, bolts, screws, washers, spacers, shims), fluid fittings (axial swage, radial swage, welded, flareless, beam seal, ring lock, and SMA fittings), and engineered products (complex sheet metal, tube assemblies, latches, quick release pins, heat shields, clamps, couplings, flanges) through eight specialized U.S. divisions, supplying commercial aerospace, defense, and gas turbine OEMs globally.

Product overview

Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing (CAM) is a multi-divisional aerospace components manufacturer with a portfolio of three core product categories: Fittings (high/low pressure fluid fittings including Axial Swage, Radial Swage, Welded, Flareless, Beam Seal, Ring Lock, and SMA fittings), Engineered Products (complex sheet metal, machined solutions, tube assemblies, latches, quick release pins, clamps, couplings, flanges, and heat shields), and Fasteners (self-locking nuts, gang channel nuts, bolts, screws, washers, spacers, and shims). CAM operates through eight divisions: Bristol (precision nuts and fasteners), 3V Fasteners (externally threaded fasteners), Moeller (washers, spacers, nut plates, shims), Aerofit (fluid fittings), QRP (quick release pins and latches), E.A. Patten (tube assemblies), Voss (clamps and couplings), and Prikos & Becker (heat shields and metal fabrication). The company also offers an e-commerce platform for online ordering. CAM was acquired by Howmet Aerospace in April 2026 for $1.8 billion.
