AERO Manufacturing Corporation

What AERO Manufacturing Corporation does

AERO Manufacturing Corporation, founded in 1971 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, is a privately-held precision metal fabrication and machining company operating from a 70,000 sq ft facility with 150+ machine tools and 70+ employees averaging 16 years of service. The company delivers five core service lines — welding (TIG, MIG, spot, seam, and robotic MIG cold metal transfer), sinker Electrical Discharge Machining with tolerances as low as ±.0005, CNC machining up to 5-axis, metal working including spinning up to 60 inches (with expansion to 72 inches) and rolling to one inch thickness, and 5-axis CO2 laser cutting using a Mitsubishi VZ1 system — for aerospace, power generation, defense/military, and industrial/MRO customers. Quality and export credentials include NADCAP accreditation for non-conventional machining and welding (valid through November 30, 2026), AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR registration, supporting work on flight-critical components and defense articles.

Revenue is generated entirely through a project-based, quote-driven model: customers request quotes via an online RFQ form (with file upload up to 50 MB) or by phone, and individual job bids are produced by the sales team. There is no recurring revenue, no disclosed pricing tiers, and no publicly available rate cards. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, with no intermediaries, distributors, or self-serve product channels, and limited marketing presence beyond a corporate website and a Facebook page.

The customer base is divided across four primary verticals — aerospace, power generation, defense, and commercial/industrial manufacturing — with concentrations in aircraft components, gas turbine and aircraft engine parts, and military applications. Headcount composition is heavily weighted to manufacturing and trade skills (~49%), with engineering support, quality/inspection, and management in supporting roles. The company is independently owned, has no identified parent, no disclosed investors or funding history, no acquisitions, and no public listing, operating as a mature, organically-grown specialty manufacturer in the Northeast US precision machining ecosystem.
