Welcome to the Standard Metal Aerospace (SMA) website. Here, you can take a virtual tour of our facilities and manufacturing capabilities. You can view samples of some of the parts manufactured by SMA from the comfort of your own desktop computer.

SMA, commenced operations in 1995 and currently operates in 40,000-sq. ft. of manufacturing space centrally located in Southern California. Our operations are engineered especially for the production of precision sheet metal components for the next generation airframe assembly and other high technology application where the highest quality and precision are a must. We have painstakingly committed ourselves on staying abreast of the ever changing technologies related to the Aerospace industry by making extensive investments in state if the art equipment such as CNC Water-Jet cutting, CNC Punch Presses, Stretch Forming, 450 Ton Hydro-Press, Powder coating and CAD engineering design. All this allows us to offer our customers the latest and best solutions for their current and future requirements.

Our rigorous Quality Assurance systems have won the approvals of such demanding customers as Boeing Military, Allied Signal Aerospace, Boeing Helicopter and Boeing - Macon Facility as well as the recognition of "Vendor of the Year" from the Boeing Company. SMA has recognized that Quality is a commitment to be shared company wide and have dedicated ourselves to improving performance on all orders, even our most established work, makes it possible to attract new opportunities and develop new customer relationships. SMA is currently approved to MIL-I-45208A and will be ISO 9002 compliant by the third quarter of 1999. With team commitment, management involvement and shop floor SPC result in end products that not only meet but exceed customer requirements.

Quality and On-time delivery work simultaneously so SMA has utilized several management tools such as J.I.T. (Just In Time) and MRO to maximize effective purchasing/planning and eliminate costly delays due to late or non-delivery of manufacturing related goods.

The management philosophy of SMA is to be recognized by our customers as the best supplier of sheet metal fabricated components. Through total commitment, involvement and creativity, SMA and our suppliers will work as a team to effectively produce the best quality components, at a competitive cost and with ON TIME delivery. The team effort will focus on ways to continually improve performance, while assuring the current and future success of our company.

However, the cyclical nature of Aerospace business demands a continual re-investment on perhaps our greatest resource, our people. A commitment to the on-going training of our staff has resulted in a constant re-examination and improvement of our manufacturing processes and planning. We continually improve our delivery performance and efficiency, job after job.

Our customers have truly become partners in our success. This partnership approach to the cyclical nature of manufacturing business has been the key to our steady growth, since SMA's success depends so much on the success of our customers.

The new century will provide new technologies and manufacturing challenges, not just in Aerospace, but in all industries demanding high-precision and high-performance components. We can help meet your manufacturing needs now and into the exciting new century.

Again, thank you for this opportunity to introduce Standard Metal Aerospace and allowing us to display some of its capability.

Sincerely,

STANDARD METAL AEROSPACE
