AMTECH

What AMTECH does

AMTECH (Automated Machine & Technology, Inc.) is a privately held precision machining and fabrication services provider founded in 1979 and headquartered at 125 Greene Drive, Grafton, in York County, Virginia. Operating from a 20,000 square foot facility across two York County sites, the company employs approximately 30 machinists, welders, CNC programmers, and supervisors and serves roughly 250 customers through 326 industry partnerships. AMTECH manufactures precision machined parts and fabricated weldments ranging from fragile miniature components to multi-thousand-pound fabrications in materials including ferrous and nonferrous alloys, stainless steels, space-age super alloys, ceramics, composites, and plastics.

The company's technical stack is built around advanced CAD/CAM programming with modern CNC machining and turning centers (mills with travels up to 165 inches, lathes with 20-inch swing, horizontal boring mills with 78-inch travel), CNC wire and RAM EDM, conventional mills, lathes, surface grinders, planer and band saws, a Flow waterjet capable of cutting 6-inch-thick material, a 175-ton CNC press brake, heat-treating ovens, and a Rockwell hardness tester. Its fabrication shop is staffed with ASME and NAVSEA-certified welders qualified on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, 4130, HY80, HSLA, 15-5, and 316 stainless steels. Quality assurance is anchored by ITAR certification, ISO 9001 compliance, Level I Material Certification, and NAICS codes 332710 and 811310.

AMTECH generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven contracts for prototype and production-run precision parts and fabricated weldments. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by complexity, material, tolerance, and volume. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting defense and aerospace primes (notably Newport News Shipbuilding, which accounts for 85% of work), shipbuilders, nuclear and fossil-fuel power generation operators, scientific research facilities (e.g., Jefferson Lab/DoE), and industrial manufacturing customers. The company is currently repositioning as a "direct support shop" providing rapid-turnaround emergent fabrication and machining to shipyards, with stated plans to expand capacity over a five-year horizon.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BWX Technologies: Supplier of nuclear components and fuel for U.S. Navy submarines and reactors. Comparable because AMTECH supplies nuclear and naval propulsion components and competes for similar highly regulated nuclear-grade work.
• Northrop Grumman: Major defense prime and listed AMTECH customer with overlapping demand for precision machined and fabricated components across submarines, ships, and aerospace platforms.
• Ducommun Incorporated: Aerospace and defense manufacturing services provider with machined components and assemblies. Comparable as a tier-1/2 supplier to the same defense primes AMTECH serves.
• Huntington Ingalls Industries: Largest U.S. military shipbuilder and parent of AMTECH's primary customer Newport News Shipbuilding. Overlap with AMTECH in naval precision components and shipbuilding supply chain makes it the most relevant incumbent comparable.
• General Dynamics Electric Boat: Submarine designer/builder and listed AMTECH customer. Comparable as a broad defense prime with deep precision-component requirements overlapping AMTECH's machining and fabrication capabilities.
• Curtiss-Wright: Defense and aerospace manufacturer of critical components, sensors, and valves (and a listed AMTECH customer). Comparable as an incumbent in the same precision-component niches AMTECH serves for naval and aerospace customers.
• Triumph Group: Aerospace structures, precision components, and systems integrator serving defense primes. Comparable in scale and end-markets, particularly for precision machined and fabricated assemblies used on naval and aerospace platforms.
• Babcock & Wilcox: Supplier of nuclear and fossil power generation components. Comparable to AMTECH's nuclear power plant components and Level I Material Certified work for the energy sector.
• Moog Inc. Precision motion control and components supplier to defense, aerospace, and industrial customers. Comparable because both companies supply high-precision, certified components into defense and naval programs where regulatory certifications are gating requirements.

Direct peers

• Senior plc: Precision engineering group supplying fluid conveyance and structural components to aerospace and defense OEMs. Directly comparable in business model (custom precision components for regulated defense and aerospace customers) and customer mix.
