What Tur-Bo Jet Products does

Tur-Bo Jet Products Co., Inc. (TBJ) is a family-owned, privately held designer and manufacturer of custom electromagnetic, electromechanical, mechanical, fluid, and pneumatic controls for the aerospace, military, transportation, and medical industries. Founded in 1948 in Rosemead, California, the company operates vertically integrated manufacturing across the United States and Mexico, with engineering and R&D offices in California, Arizona, and New York, manufacturing in Ensenada and Mexicali (Mexico), and a technical sales office in Paris, France. TBJ's product portfolio spans core components (solenoids, solenoid valves, mechanical valves, metering valves, selector valves, servo valves, manifolds, sensors, pumps, bleed air valves, electronic controls) and integrated systems (brake control with DO-178C certified BCU computers, flight deck door security systems rated at 3,000 lbs holding force with 7ms release, fluid power systems, fuel control systems, and nose wheel steering systems). The company claims precision CNC machining tolerances to .00008" match fit and a 5 million coil annual production capacity across 80 winding cells.

TBJ generates revenue primarily through direct enterprise sales of custom mission-critical components and contract manufacturing services (CNC machining, coil winding, engineering) to Tier 1 aerospace and defense customers, supported by long-term supply agreements (five-year LTAs with PMGC Holdings subsidiaries AGA Precision Systems and SVM Machining, signed in 2026). The company holds AS9100 Rev. D and ISO 9001:2015 certifications at both Rosemead and Ensenada facilities, ITAR registration, J-STD-001 IPC Trainer certification, and serves as a Source Certifying Agent (SCA) for Honeywell Approved Processes, establishing regulatory credentials that function as significant barriers to entry. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on RFQ/quote basis for custom designs. The company is led by founder Otto N. Bloom (President) and second-generation Richard Bloom (Vice President), with third-generation family leadership driving the business. TBJ has publicly stated an ambition to grow from approximately $30 million in current revenue to $100 million by 2030.

Broad incumbents

• Honeywell Aerospace: Honeywell is both a TBJ customer and a major Tier 1 manufacturer of flight control, landing, fuel, and pneumatic systems. While TBJ sells into Honeywell as a component supplier and SCA, Honeywell's internal manufacturing of valves, BCUs, and flight controls is the broader incumbent benchmark TBJ competes against on new program awards.
• Curtiss-Wright: Curtiss-Wright provides highly engineered, mission-critical products, systems, and services for commercial, industrial, defense, and energy markets, including aerospace valves, sensors, and control components. It competes with TBJ in valves, sensors, and electronic controls while serving as a much larger diversified supplier.
• Parker Hannifin (Aerospace division): Parker's Aerospace segment manufactures flight control, hydraulic, fuel, and pneumatic systems and components for commercial and military aircraft. It is a much larger incumbent that competes with TBJ across solenoids, valves, manifolds, pumps, and brake/fluid power subsystems while also serving as a broader portfolio supplier.
• Eaton Aerospace: Eaton's Aerospace group produces hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and fluid conveyance systems and components for commercial and military platforms. Eaton competes with TBJ in valves, pumps, manifolds, and nose-wheel steering subsystems as part of a much wider industrial portfolio.

Direct peers

• Senior plc: Senior plc's Aerospace division supplies precision-engineered fluid conveyance and motion-control components, including valves and pumps, to aerospace and defense customers. Senior competes directly with TBJ in hydraulic and pneumatic components and integrated subassemblies for airframes and landing systems.
• Woodward (GE Aerospace): Woodward, now part of GE Aerospace, designs and manufactures energy control and optimization solutions including fuel control systems and aerodynamic control components. It directly competes with TBJ's fuel control systems and electronic control offerings for engine and airframe applications.
• CIRCOR International: CIRCOR designs and manufactures highly engineered fluid control products, including valves, pumps, and servo/proportional valves for aerospace and defense. Its product mix — particularly in motion-control and fluid-control valves — closely mirrors TBJ's solenoid, metering, selector, and servo valve lines.
• Triumph Group: Triumph designs, engineers, manufactures, and repairs aerospace structures, systems, and components — including hydraulic and fuel system components. It is a comparable Tier 2 supplier competing with TBJ for system and component content on commercial and military aircraft platforms.
• Safran Landing Systems: Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Bugatti-Dowty) is a major supplier of landing gear, braking, and hydraulics for commercial and military aircraft. It competes with TBJ in brake control systems, nose wheel steering, and landing gear subsystems that use TBJ's valves, sensors, and BCU electronics.
• Moog Inc. Moog is a leading designer and manufacturer of precision motion control products, including servo valves, flight control actuators, and hydraulic/pneumatic components for aerospace and defense. It directly overlaps TBJ's core product lines (servo valves, solenoid valves, brake/flight control subsystems) and competes for the same Tier 1 prime business.
