Beranek

What Beranek does

Beranek, LLC, operating as Beranek Precision, is a Torrance, California-based precision machining manufacturer founded in 1978 by Hector Beranek. The company produces highly technical, precision-machined components and sub-assemblies from complex hard and soft metals, serving blue-chip customers in the aerospace, defense, space, and commercial communications industries, with explicit concentration on rocket motor and missile support systems. Core manufacturing capabilities include CNC turning, milling, broaching, and OD/ID grinding, supported by in-house quality engineering using APQP, PFMEA, and PPAP frameworks and a layered inspection stack (Mitutoyo CMM manual, ROMER Absolute Arm portable, DCC CMM automated). The facility holds AS9100D and ISO 9001 dual certification, ITAR registration, and GIDEP membership, qualifying the company for participation in secure defense and aerospace supply chains.

The company operates as a privately held, family-led LLC with approximately 30 employees at a single Torrance facility, currently under General Manager George Beranek and Quality Director Jose Florez. It is a member of the Alloy Company network alongside Alloy Specialties and J&E Precision Tool, which provides access to additional capacity across turning, milling, broaching, and OD/ID grinding for new product launches and demand spikes. Revenue is generated exclusively through direct B2B contracts against an RFQ-driven sales process, with custom quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts typical; there are no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace channels, and customer names are not publicly disclosed. Operations are domestic U.S.-only with no international footprint or public revenue figures, and the company is family-owned with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
