Boeing Names L&M Tier 1 Supplier

As Boeing continues to place emphasis on high end design and systems integration, the company has increasingly turned to small businesses with core manufacturing competencies like L&M’s precision fabrication that complement its own production to supplement its Aerospace assembly and sub-assemblies.

In addition to the Tier 1 production partnership, L&M Precision will continue to play an active role in supplying interior components to other Boeing Tier 1 manufacturing partners.

The new appointment follows growth of L&M Precision Fabrication’s Aerospace manufacturing business. In January of 2012, L&M was the first manufacturer in the Spokane, WA area to be awarded its AS9100 Rev. C Certification. AS9100 Rev. C certification qualifications are designed to meet the unique needs of the Aerospace, Military and Defense markets.

"We’ve are pleased to see 2012 bringing steady growth from our Aerospace customers," says L&M Precision Vice President Fred Brown. "In the first four months of 2012 we’ve had almost 20% growth in production over this time last year. We’re seeing an increase in numbers of requests for quotes as well as larger quantities per order."

Boeing (www.boeing.com) and the Aerospace industry is just one market taking advantage of L&M’s full service CNC punching, forming and machining facility. The company has also served global customers in the Electronics and Technology, Medical and Military industries.
