Stoddard International

What Stoddard International does

Stoddard International is a privately held build-to-print composite manufacturer headquartered in Arlington, Washington, founded in 1989 as a sub-contractor to Boeing Company. The company specializes in manufacturing composite interior components and secondary structures for commercial aircraft, serving OEM aircraft manufacturers and airline retrofit shops. Its core manufacturing capabilities span the full composite production stack: hand layup with vacuum bagging, compression molding with crush core, wet layup, plaster casting for ducting, CNC and hand trimming (3-axis and 5-axis NC), sub-assembly, bonded assemblies, tooling, and finishing services including painting, gelcoat/granicoat, and decorative application (decolam). Stoddard holds AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications along with multiple Boeing process approvals (BAC5331, BAC5524, BAC5565, BAC5572), positioning it as a qualified supplier in the aerospace supply chain.

The company operates from a 53,000 sq-ft manufacturing facility located on the Arlington Airport with access to the I-5 corridor, expanded from an original 15,000 sq-ft footprint, with adjacent buildings available for further growth. Beyond aerospace, Stoddard markets capability to serve industrial verticals including energy, ground transportation, marine, and recreation, leveraging its materials expertise across Phenolics, Epoxies, Graphites, Kevlars, and fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.

Stoddard's business model is project-based build-to-print manufacturing with quote-based, negotiated per-contract pricing and no public pricing disclosure. Revenue is generated through one-time contracts for custom composite parts produced to customer specifications. The go-to-market is direct, relationship-based sales to enterprise aerospace OEMs and industrial clients globally. The company employs 101-250 people and is structured as a Washington State LLC with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or external funding events.

Direct peers

• Ducommun Incorporated: Aerospace structural components and assemblies supplier with composite and metallic capabilities serving commercial and defense customers. Closely comparable to Stoddard's mix of composite interior/structural assemblies for Tier 1/OEM customers.
• Senior plc: Tier 2 supplier of high-precision engineered components and assemblies for aerospace, including composite interior and structural parts. Comparable to Stoddard in serving commercial OEM and aftermarket customers with complex, certified components.
• Hexcel Corporation: Leading supplier of advanced composite materials and parts for commercial aerospace, including interior and structural applications. Comparable to Stoddard in process know-how across epoxy/phenolic prepregs and structural composite parts, though operating at much larger scale as a publicly listed Tier 1.
• Magellan Aerospace: Tier 2 aerospace manufacturer supplying structures, components, and assemblies to commercial and defense OEMs. Comparable to Stoddard in build-to-print and assembly-driven scope across aerospace interiors and secondary structures.
• Triumph Group: Tier 2 aerospace supplier of complex metallic and composite components, assemblies, and subassemblies. Closely comparable to Stoddard's build-to-print model for aerospace structures and interiors, though at substantially larger scale.
• Toray Advanced Composites: Manufactures advanced thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials and parts for aerospace interiors, secondary structures, and engines. Directly comparable to Stoddard in materials families (epoxies, phenolics, thermoplastics) and interior-component scope.

Broad incumbents

• GKN Aerospace: Tier 1 aerospace supplier with extensive composites and metallic aerostructures capability, including transparencies and interior systems. Operates at much larger scale than Stoddard but competes for the same interior and secondary-structure composite scopes.
• Spirit AeroSystems: Largest independent Tier 1 aerostructures manufacturer, supplying fuselage, wing, and composite structures to Boeing and Airbus. Comparable technology (advanced composites) and customer base but operates at a dramatically different scale than Stoddard.
• Diehl Aviation: Tier 1 supplier of cabin interiors, avionics, and systems for commercial aircraft — directly comparable to Stoddard's bonded assembly scope for monuments, bulkheads, class dividers, and overhead bins, but at much larger scale and with proprietary cabin products.
• Safran Cabin (formerly Zodiac Aerospace): Tier 1 supplier of aircraft cabin interiors, seating, and systems including composite interior monuments. Comparable customer base and interior-component scope to Stoddard but operates as a global Tier 1 with proprietary cabin products.
