Historical and Facility review
Master Swaging, Inc. was formed around 1960 and Incorporated in 1970 as a job
shop manufacturing facility catering primarily to the helicopter and heavy
aircraft industries.
The majority of sales are made to prime aircraft manufacturers. Direct military
sales, account for about 10% of total sales, and commercial, non-aircraft
related sales amount to 30% of total sales. Approximately 15% of our sales are
directly exported to airframe manufacturers outside the United States.
Present ownership succeeded in May of 1989. Day to day operations are run by a
management team consisting of Mr. Chris Burch and Mr. Daniel B.
Gilroy...President and Owner. Total employment amounts to 15 people. Operations
run on a two shift basis, 5 days a week with overtime on weekends as needed.
The facility consists of 4 buildings, owned by the corporation, totaling 26,008
square feet, located on 2.2 acres in an industrial development section of
Jackson Center, Ohio. Construction is primarily steel framed, metal buildings.
Jackson Center is located 45 minutes north of Dayton, Ohio, 7 miles from
Interstate 75. Dayton is an industrial center with major airport facilities used
as a hub for air cargo and freight operations.
We are serviced by all major air, parcel and truck carriers. A railroad siding
is also next to the facility.
We have been supplying Primary, Critical and Flight Safety Components for over
twenty five years, with our Quality system being approved by many major airframe
manufacturers. All work is run on a manufacturing routing system that allows for
full traceability, serial number identification and segregation of materials.
Our expertise centers around swaged, flash butt welded or CNC machined torque
tubes, pitch links, control rods, connecting links, drive shafts and stick
assemblies and their related clevis, rod ends and bellcranks. This extends to
rotor bolts, tail shafts and bulkhead mounts.
Materials include Titanium, Stainless and Alloy Steels, Aluminum and Plastics.
Many of the special processes required for these items are performed in-house.
These include Swaging (Hot or Cold), Flash-Butt Welding, Silver Brazing,
Bonding, Non-Destructive Testing (Magnetic Particle and Fluorescent Penetrant),
Organic Finishing (including Solid Film Lubes), Proof Testing and Assembly. We
deal with over 350 material, hardware and service vendors (such as platers,
testing labs and heat treaters).
In addition to full service manufacturing, we also provide these services as
detail operations on customer supplied material on an offload subcontractor
basis.
