Precision CNC capacity is expanding across aerospace and defense - what build-to-print shops should watch. Posted by Jason Hansen on Sep 23rd 2026 Precision CNC capacity is expanding across the U.S. aerospace and defense supply chain. In September 2026, several manufacturers announced new floorspace, machines, or regional sites aimed at complex flight hardware, sustainment parts, and build-to-print work. For small OEM and job shops, those headlines are a demand signal: primes and Tier 1s still need qualified machining partners who can hold print, schedule, and quality. One clear example is Machine Sciences Corporation, an Oregon-based precision CNC manufacturer with Florida operations. On September 10, 2026, the City of Cedar Park, Texas, approved a performance-based economic development agreement for Machine Sciences to lease about 48,000 square feet at Cedar Tech I, create 70 full-time jobs, and invest roughly $31.9 million. The company specializes in complex, high-precision components for space, aerospace, and defense - including satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and advanced defense systems - and has reported roughly 20-30 percent annual growth in recent years. That kind of investment is not happening in isolation. In early September, Seyer Industries ordered a second Starrag STC 1800 machining center to expand capacity for large titanium and high-performance alloy components used in aerospace and defense. Mid-month, GKN Aerospace broke ground on a $16 million expansion of its North Charlestown, New Hampshire engine-component plant, adding turning, surface finishing, and non-destructive testing so more process steps stay on one site. On September 22, KIHOMAC announced a planned $25 million, roughly 130,000-square-foot Oklahoma City facility to grow aerospace manufacturing and sustainment capacity supporting Tinker Air Force Base. * Capacity announcements often trail program ramp needs. When OEMs add floorspace and five-axis machines, RFQs for brackets, fittings, housings, and tooling usually follow. * Buyers still filter on fundamentals: documented quality (AS9100 or equivalent where required), configuration control, inspection capacity, and honest lead times. * Materials matter. Titanium, stainless, and other hard alloys show up repeatedly in these expansions - shops that already program and fixture those alloys are better positioned when overflow work appears. * Proximity still helps. Regional clusters around depots, primes, and space campuses attract supplier visits and dual-source conversations. None of this guarantees a purchase order. It does mean the market is still investing in U.S. precision machining. Shops that keep drawings clean, processes repeatable, and delivery dates real remain the ones OEMs call when a cell is overloaded.

KIHOMAC plans $25M, 130,000-square-foot facility near Tinker By: Sam Royka//September 22, 2026//
ITI Engineering and KIHOMAC sign MOU to support forward F-35 sustainment and ACE enablement. FARNBOROUGH, England - July 22, 2026 - ITI Engineering (ITI), a leading provider of rugged military computing systems, today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding with KIHOMAC to jointly pursue opportunities that support forward F-35 sustainment and Agile Combat Employment (ACE). The MOU was signed during the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, one of the world's premier aerospace and defense industry events. The agreement brings together ITI's deployable ODIN hardware, which supports F-35 mission planning, maintenance, and sustainment activities, with KIHOMAC's MXU-1072/A Advanced Travel Pod to support concepts that help move mission support capability closer to forward operating locations. The companies will explore integrated capability concepts, including the F-35 Forward Sustainment Kit and missionized pod configurations, aimed at improving the deployment, transport, and accessibility of mission support capabilities for F-35 operators. "Forward sustainment is becoming increasingly important as military operators look for ways to support distributed operations with less dependence on fixed infrastructure," said Kevin Speed, president of ITI Engineering. "By working with KIHOMAC, we can bring together deployable ODIN hardware and physical transport capability in a way that supports more flexible mission operations." KIHOMAC's MXU-1072/A Advanced Travel Pod is designed to support worldwide mobility, adaptive basing and ACE requirements for U.S. and international F-35 users. The pod is designed for the F-35 internal carriage space and supports deployment cargo, support equipment, and spare parts. "The Advanced Travel Pod was developed to give F-35 operators a practical, certified way to carry the equipment they need to support distributed operations," said Ki Ho Kang, CEO of KIHOMAC. "Working with ITI creates an opportunity to pair that physical carriage capability with deployable ODIN hardware that can help customers operate with greater flexibility at the tactical edge." The MOU reflects a shared focus on practical, deployable capability for F-35 operators. By combining complementary sustainment and mobility technologies, ITI and KIHOMAC aim to help customers support readiness, reduce reliance on centralized infrastructure and better equip units operating in forward environments.

KIHOMAC manufacturing plant opens in Warner Robins; hiring underway with expansion planned. The KIHOMAC manufacturing plant is now open with 75 workers on site and dozens more jobs expected as production ramps up. WARNER ROBINS, Ga. - A new aerospace manufacturing facility in Warner Robins is now fully operational, with crews already working inside and hiring still underway. Inside the 130,000-square-foot KIHOMAC facility, machinery is running and production work is underway supporting military aviation programs tied to Robins Air Force Base. The facility represents a $7 million contract with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. KIHOMAC Chief Financial Officer Amy Brand said the workforce is continuing to grow as the facility ramps up production. "The intent is to hire all Middle Georgia employees," Brand said. Brand said about 75 employees are currently working at the Warner Robins location, with plans to add another 50 to 70 positions over the next two years as additional equipment and contract work are added. "We work on a number of different aircraft and Kihomac solves problems for the aircraft," Brand said. Work inside the facility includes sheet metal fabrication, specialized wiring, and composite manufacturing used to support aging military aircraft. "We'll need welders, machinists, variety of types of technical skills," Brand said. The company says it is hiring for a range of full-time roles including welders, machinists, composite technicians, wire harness specialists, and other skilled manufacturing and engineering positions. KIHOMAC supports aircraft tied to Robins Air Force Base, including engineering and parts work for the C-5 aircraft, as well as production tied to the F-35 travel pod program. "For Robins, we support the C-5 with both engineering and parts. And one thing that's being made here is the travel pod for the F-35. And we're adding additional parts every day," Brand said. Brand said the facility represents continued growth for the company in Middle Georgia. "Having this facility here is only going to expand the relationships that have been built over that time and make us a more solid member of the community," Brand said. While many are seeing the company's Warner Robins operation for the first time, officials said KIHOMAC has operated in the Middle Georgia region for about 17 years. The company's primary mission involves creating replacement parts for aging military aircraft, some dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. KIHOMAC currently supports three Air Force logistics complexes: Utah Hill, Robins, and Tinker Air Force Bases. Robins Air Force Base continues to be a major economic driver in the region, with officials estimating its annual economic impact at nearly $4.2 billion in salaries, services, contracts, and more. The new facility is located at 1978 Lightning Way.
