Industrial Precision

What Industrial Precision does

Industrial Precision, Inc. (IPI) is a privately-held precision aerospace machining manufacturer founded in 1974 and headquartered in Westfield, Massachusetts. The company operates a 25,000-square-foot AS9100-, ISO 9001:2015-, and ITAR-certified facility, producing precision-machined metal components and fixtures for aerospace and defense customers. With more than 60 employees and over 50 years of operational history, IPI provides extensive metal machining operations and serves as a long-standing supplier within the aerospace manufacturing supply chain.

IPI operates a B2B sales-led model with direct relationships to aerospace manufacturers and defense contractors, delivering precision components rather than finished assemblies. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed, and pricing is handled through direct negotiation under non-disclosed terms. Distribution is single-country/domestic, with a geographic focus on the Northeast United States. The company's customer base is concentrated in a single vertical — aerospace and defense — with longstanding relationships built over decades.

As of July 14, 2026, Industrial Precision became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alinabal Group, a strategic operating company specializing in precision metal components and assemblies with a network of six facilities across Connecticut, South Carolina, and Massachusetts. Following the acquisition, Steve Hitchcock transitioned from Vice President to General Manager, while former President Doug Smith (since 2006, with the company since 1979) moved into a consulting role ahead of planned retirement at year-end 2026.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves1 record

Broad incumbents

• Magellan Aerospace: Canadian-headquartered supplier of aero structures, engine components, and precision machined parts to commercial and defense markets. Operates AS9100-compliant machining facilities comparable to IPI's quality system, with broader global reach and platform coverage.
• Senior plc: UK-headquartered engineered components group operating precision machining, fluid conveyance, and structural aerospace businesses. Comparable as an AS9100-certified precision aerospace component manufacturer, with much broader end-market diversification (aerospace, defense, auto, energy).
• Triumph Group: Public aerospace structures and precision machined components manufacturer serving commercial, business, and military aviation. Comparable in serving aerospace OEM programs with machined assemblies, though substantially larger and more diversified than IPI's single-site Westfield operation.
• Ducommun Incorporated: US-listed supplier of structural aerospace and defense components, including machined and assembled parts for commercial aircraft, military platforms, and space. Operates multiple AS9100/ITAR-certified US facilities comparable to IPI's footprint, with broader program coverage and public-market scale.
• Howmet Aerospace: Large-scale manufacturer of engineered aerospace structures and precision components in titanium, aluminum, and other alloys. Operates machining, casting, and additive manufacturing lines that overlap with IPI's precision-machined aerospace parts, but serves a much wider portfolio of platforms.
• Precision Castparts Corp. A Berkshire Hathaway-owned manufacturer of complex metal components and assemblies for aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. Operates forging, casting, and machining facilities that produce precision parts structurally comparable to IPI's aerospace machining output, but at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• Moog Inc. Precision motion control and components manufacturer with significant aerospace machined components, assemblies, and subsystems exposure. Comparable AS9100 quality regime and precision machining heritage, though significantly larger and more diversified across military and commercial platforms.

Emerging players

• Hexcel Corporation: Aerospace composites and engineered parts manufacturer serving commercial aerospace, military, and industrial markets. Indirect peer — both supply precision aerospace structures into OEM build cycles, but Hexcel is composite-led while IPI is metal-machining-led; useful as a benchmark for adjacent aerospace componentry peers.

Regional players

• Heroux-Devtek: Quebec-based manufacturer of landing gear, hydraulic, aerostructure, and precision machined components for aerospace and defense. Comparable manufacturing process and certification footprint to IPI, but primarily serves Canadian and European aerospace programs rather than the US Northeast market.

Direct peers

• Alinabal Group: IPI's parent acquirer and operating counterpart. Alinabal is itself a precision metal components and assemblies manufacturer serving aerospace, defense, military, and medical end-markets. Its stamping, machining, welding, and assembly capabilities overlap directly with IPI's precision aerospace machining offering, making it the most directly comparable peer.
