Alpal Precision Machining Co.

What Alpal Precision Machining Co. does

Alpal Precision Machining Co., Inc. is a family-owned, third-generation U.S. precision machining job shop founded in 1963 and headquartered in a 12,000 sq. ft. facility at 176 Cherry Valley Ave, West Hempstead, NY. The company produces high-tolerance, flight-ready CNC-machined components for aerospace and defense primes as well as select specialty commercial customers, with its stated end users including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Honeywell, GE Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Airbus, Boeing, Sikorsky, BAE Systems, Parker Hannifin, Rolls-Royce, MTU Aero Engines, Saab, Hamilton Sundstrand, Ametek, Arkwin, NASA, and the U.S. Coast Guard. Manufacturing is built around a fleet of approximately 25 CNC machines, anchored by a Haas UMC-500 5-axis simultaneous machining center with an 11-pallet pool, six Haas EC-400 horizontal machining centers with a 6-pallet pool, Haas VF-series vertical mills, and high-speed OM-2 office mills, supported by a Mitutoyo Crysta Apex 776 CMM for NIST-traceable inspection. Materials processed include aluminum alloys (6061-T6, 7075-T6), stainless and carbon steels, exotic alloys, and engineered polymers such as Delrin, PEEK, Ultem, Nylon, PTFE, and Polycarbonate.

The company operates under AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 quality management systems (held since 2017), with MIL-I-45208A inspection standards and CMMC Level 2 compliance targeted for Q4 2026. Secondary processing (anodizing, coating, heat treating, brazing, surface treatments) is managed through a curated network of NADCAP-accredited partners while Alpal retains custody from raw stock to finished part, enabling a single-source, turnkey delivery model. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven: prospects submit RFQs with 3D CAD files (STEP, IGES), 2D PDF blueprints with tolerance callouts, and material specifications, and the company offers 24-hour expedited quoting. Revenue is generated through job-based and blanket-order contracts with no public pricing, distributed entirely via direct B2B sales in the United States. The company's value proposition rests on 60+ years of aerospace specialization, prime-contractor approvals (including Grumman Aircraft and Raytheon), full material and documentation traceability, and a family-ownership continuity model now in its third generation.
