What 2ND SOURCE WIRE & CABLE does

ALIGN PRECISION Corp. is a privately held, Arizona-incorporated precision contract manufacturer serving leading aerospace OEMs, Tier One suppliers, defense OEMs, semiconductor OEMs, and high-tech industrial customers in energy, medical, optics, and photonics. The company operates from nine U.S. Centers of Excellence (Tuscaloosa AL; Tempe and Chandler AZ; Anaheim CA; Clearwater FL; Arundel ME; North Plains OR; Philadelphia PA; Cedar City UT), collectively exceeding 600,000 square feet of manufacturing space and employing more than 1,000 precision specialists. It was built through a programmatic roll-up that began with Smith Machine in 2015 and continued through Aero Pacific (2019), four acquisitions in 2020, and Metalcraft Technologies (2021).

The platform's technical core is multi-axis CNC machining (up to 9-axis, with long-bed machines reaching 120 feet of travel), wire and sinker EDM, sheet metal fabrication, hydroforming, and NADCAP-certified special processing — chemical processing, anodizing, heat treating, fusion welding, and NDT — supported by Class 100 clean-room assembly and tolerances down to .0001 inch across hard metals, aluminum, titanium, Inconel, and exotic or high-purity materials. Certifications include AS9100D/AS9100, NADCAP, ITAR, and ISO 9001:2015, with CCPA and GDPR compliance, qualifying the company as a copy-exact supplier for flight-critical and mission-critical programs.

Revenue is generated through professional-services-style contract manufacturing on a quote/PO basis, with no disclosed pricing model beyond long-term OEM supply agreements; no revenue, backlog, or funding data is publicly available. Leadership comprises CEO Eric Ellis (appointed September 8, 2025), CFO Patrick Albert, and COO Eric Thompson, indicating an active executive transition following the 2015-2021 integration phase.
