AEFP Group

What AEFP Group does

AEFP Group is a privately-held precision manufacturing conglomerate serving the aerospace, defense, medical, and high-precision industries. The group operates through multiple operating subsidiaries including Aero Engineering, EF Precision Group, Johnson Precision Products, LHM Technologies, AEROFAB, Trinity Aerospace, and NEK Manufacturing, supported by an India-based manufacturing partnership with JEH Aero in Telangana. Across six manufacturing sites in the United States, Canada, and India and a workforce of more than 360 employees, AEFP provides vertically integrated contract manufacturing spanning design engineering, tooling, multi-axis CNC machining (3, 4, and 5 axis), sheet metal fabrication, water jet cutting, and complex mechanical and electro-mechanical assembly. The group holds AS9100D, ITAR/EAR, Transport Canada, and Controlled Goods certifications and maintains proprietary specialization in landing gear component manufacturing and aerostructure fluid systems.

The business model is enterprise contract manufacturing, with quote-based, project-specific pricing under multi-year contracts delivered through direct field sales to aerospace and defense primes and Tier 1 suppliers. Named customers include Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Raytheon Technologies, Safran, Collins Aerospace, and Curtiss-Wright on programs including the F-35, F-22, F-16, C-130, Boeing 737/777/787, and Airbus A220/A320/A350. The medical vertical, served through EF Precision Group and the February 2025 acquisition of NEK Manufacturing, supplies medical implants and devices to customers including Globus Medical and CTL Amedica.

AEFP's recent strategic activity has been M&A-driven, with the July 2025 acquisition of LHM Technologies expanding the North American footprint and the February 2025 acquisition of NEK Manufacturing extending quick-turn machining capability into medical implants. The group is part of the broader Solestra Group affiliated portfolio of manufacturing companies and markets itself as one of North America's trusted top-tier manufacturing partners for military operators, commercial aviation, and high-precision industries.
