Aerospace Equipment Fabrication Services
At West Cobb Engineering And Tool Inc., we provide comprehensive aerospace equipment fabrication services including machining, forming, welding, wet lay-up, and painting. Our team is responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of ground support equipment, transportation dollies, large aircraft access stands, and other aerospace tooling. Customers around the globe count on our expertise and quality for their marquee projects.
We maintain some of the largest capacity machining and dimensional inspection equipment in the industry as well as ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D quality certifications. In recognition of the efforts to provide the highest quality products and service in the industry, we have received numerous awards from customers including Lockheed Martin, as well as regional industry organizations.
This dedication to the aerospace industry has resulted in continual growth, including a current expansion that adds composite fabrication capabilities to our list of services. As the needs of the aerospace and aviation industry continue to evolve, we strive to stay at the forefront of manufacturing technology. Engineers partner with customers to develop innovative designs that creatively solve unique challenges.
Turnkey services take a project from concept, through fabrication, all of the way to the installation at the customer’s facility. While all timelines are specific to each project and dependent on complexity as well as the customer’s schedule, typical turnaround time is 6 to 8 weeks.
