Marshall Precision Manufacturing

What Marshall Precision Manufacturing does

Marshall Precision Manufacturing, Inc. is a privately held, woman-owned precision machining contract manufacturer founded in 1970 and headquartered at 7885 Alabama Highway 69, Guntersville, Alabama, in a 16,000 sq. ft. facility near the Huntsville aerospace corridor and Marshall Space Flight Center. The company operates a small shop (1-10 employees) running 3-axis CNC mills and lathes alongside conventional machining equipment, producing close-tolerance parts and assemblies in production sizes ranging from 1/2-inch components to custom 20-foot ISO container-sized units, with demonstrated tolerances of +/- .00025 on optical focus sensor receptor components supplied to Lockheed Martin Aerospace.

The company's product portfolio spans precision machined components for aerospace fuel management and optic sensor applications, hydraulic cylinder components for industrial OEMs, electronics manufacturing components, ultra-high pressure composite containers, and project-specific defense parts such as NEA Scout solar sail components for DoD/NASA and aircraft arrestor system components for ATECH. Quality assurance relies on NIST-traceable inspection gauges, Statistical Process Control, a Brown & Sharpe Micro-Hite gauge, Keyence handheld XM-5000, Jones & Lamson 14-inch optical comparator (10x-100x), and a Wilson hardness tester. Production scope is broadened through the NASA Partnering Program and a nearby network of certified secondary-process suppliers covering EDM, water jet and laser cutting, surface grinding, paint, screen printing, and sheet metal forming.

Marshall Precision generates revenue through quote-based direct sales contracts to government agencies (DoD, NASA, DLA, US Army Redstone Arsenal), prime aerospace and defense contractors (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, United Launch Alliance, Cimarron Composites), and industrial OEMs (HYCO of Montanhydraulik Group, CH2MHill, International Enterprises, ATECH). The company holds AS-9100D aerospace certification (obtained 2009 through the Alabama-Boeing Supplier Development Program, recertified 2024-2027) and ISO 9001:2015 (Registration #12001ASR001), with CAGE Code 1F657 and active SAM registration as a Woman-Owned Small Business. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; no revenue, funding, or headcount-growth figures are available.
