Precision CNC Machining for Defense Teams
Defense companies in Vallejo need parts that are exact, traceable, and compliant. A weapon mount that's out of spec affects reliability in the field. We machine aluminum 7075, 4340 steel, and titanium 6Al-4V to tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. We are ITAR-registered and handle controlled technology with proper export controls.
ITAR-Registered Shop
We are registered with the DDTC under ITAR. Defense and controlled-technology projects are handled by US persons only with proper export procedures.
Mil-Spec Materials
We machine aluminum 7075, 4340 steel, titanium 6Al-4V, and mil-spec alloys with full material certs and heat lot traceability.
Full Traceability
Every part gets a job number with records of material, programs, and operator sign-offs. Your program office can request records at any time.

Built for Defense Teams
Mare Island's 142-year naval heritage and Travis AFB proximity mean we understand defense machining requirements — ITAR compliance, DFARS materials, and mil-spec finishes on every order.
ITAR-Registered
We are registered with the DDTC under ITAR. Defense and controlled-technology projects are handled by US persons only with proper export control procedures.
Mil-Spec Documentation
Every defense order ships with a dimensional inspection report, material cert, and process records. We structure our paperwork to meet program office requirements.
CMM Inspection Included
Every critical feature is verified before shipping. CMM reports go with every defense order — so your receiving team and program office have the data they need.
Fast Prototype Turnaround
Most prototype orders ship in 5 to 7 business days. Rush available — tell us your program schedule.

Defense Manufacturing in Vallejo
Vallejo's defense sector carries the deepest military manufacturing heritage in the Bay Area. Mare Island Naval Shipyard operated from 1854 to 1996, building submarines, battleships, and naval weapons systems across 142 years. The campus now hosts industrial tenants with precision machining capabilities forged in naval programs — shops that understand classified documentation, mil-spec surface finishes, and the exacting tolerances required for military hardware. Travis Air Force Base in nearby Fairfield is the West Coast's primary military airlift hub, operating C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster aircraft that generate continuous demand for MRO flight hardware, cargo handling system components, and communications equipment enclosures.
The Carquinez Strait industrial corridor hosts defense subcontractors who serve both Travis AFB programs and Bay Area defense primes including Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. The Glen Cove industrial area provides manufacturing space for ITAR-controlled programs. The I-80 corridor connects Vallejo to Sacramento's defense procurement offices in 60 minutes and to the South Bay's defense technology campuses via the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and I-580. David Grant USAF Medical Center at Travis creates additional demand for military-specification medical device components.
We machine defense components for Vallejo's military corridor. MRO flight hardware for Travis AFB airlift programs. Communications system enclosures with EMI shielding. ITAR-controlled housings for Mare Island defense tenants. Mil-spec surface treatments on DFARS-compliant alloys. Cargo handling system components for military logistics. Programs saved for repeat maintenance orders — identical replacement parts ship without re-programming. Rush turnaround for fleet readiness requirements.
Vallejo's defense heritage runs deeper than almost any Bay Area city. Mare Island Naval Shipyard operated for 142 years building submarines, battleships, and naval weapons systems. Today the campus hosts industrial tenants with precision machining capabilities forged in naval programs. Travis Air Force Base in nearby Fairfield is the West Coast's primary military airlift hub — C-5 Galaxy and C-17 Globemaster MRO programs generate steady demand for flight hardware. The Carquinez Strait industrial corridor hosts defense subcontractors, and the Glen Cove area provides ITAR-controlled manufacturing space. We machine ITAR-compliant defense components for Vallejo's military corridor — MRO flight hardware, communications enclosures, and mil-spec parts with DFARS materials.
