Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Scott Miller arrived November 2022 with Meggitt operations experience and multi-site discipline.
- Primus says 2026 hiring spans CNC, 5-axis programmers, quality, and assembly roles.
- Updated 2026 site content shows active expansion into satellite, hypersonics, and exotic-material work.
What critics are saying
- AS9100 expires April 23, 2026; recertification failure blocks aerospace and defense shipments.
- Raloid still operates under its own brand, signaling integration risk across locations.
- Heavy exposure to a few primes like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon concentrates customer power.
What makes Primus Aerospace unique
- AS9100 certified through April 23, 2026; build-to-print for complex mission-critical parts.
- Lakewood and Reisterstown sites pair 5-axis machining, EDM, plating, and NDT.
- Paradigm CNC and Raloid added 5-axis depth and Tier 1 defense credibility.
