It started in a basement
In 1964, Larry C. Arant set up a Clausing lathe, a bench grinder and two mills in the 16-by-20-foot basement of his Northeast Charlotte home. Three generations later, the same company machines hardware for mission-critical applications.
Six decades on the same problem
Every step in this timeline was a decision to take on work that was harder than the work before it.
Where we are now
A third-generation family business in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving mission-critical applications across aerospace, defense and space.

What defines us
We advance the future of flight through precision manufacturing, pairing complex machining expertise with a culture built on passion, agility, care and excellence.
We take pride in our craft and believe the work we do matters. When you build hardware trusted for critical missions, there’s a reason to care about every detail.
We move quickly, solve hard problems, and adapt when the mission changes. We empower our people to think, act, and find a better way forward.
We look out for each other and take responsibility for the work we put into the world. Our people, our customers, and the mission behind every part matter to us.
Good enough isn’t our standard. We challenge ourselves to get better every day and deliver work we’re proud to put our name on.
Build the next sixty years with us
We are hiring machinists, programmers, inspectors and apprentices.
