Aerospace Components
AS 9100-certified aerospace components of the highest performance, integrity, and reliability.
Every project starts with a dream, a design, a vision for a plane, satellite or spacecraft. What do they all have in common? Tiny metal parts, made with a variety of standard and specialty materials as thin as 0.0005”.
Since 1968, we’ve been photochemical etching the components aerospace engineers need. From simple aircraft washers to classified satellite components for USA government contractors, we get the job done right, every single time.
Trusted by industry leaders for over 50 years
Vaga Industries is a leading manufacturer of AS 9100-accredited metal components. Since 1966, when our grandfather was first contracted to make US stealth bomber wings, we’ve been delivering the aerospace and defense industry with components of unmatched safety, reliability, and precision.
Proven performance and reliability
Our chemical photo etching process guarantees components that are 100% stress, burr, and distortion-free. From metal shims, filters, turbine blades, to custom designs, we deliver high-performance, reliable components with accuracy within ±0.020mm [0.0005″].
Versatility for any metal
Our photo chemical etching service is suitable for a range of aerospace-grade metals, offering limitless versatility that traditional metalworking techniques can’t match.
We offer decades of experience working with high-strength stainless steels, lightweight, durable aluminum, copper and copper alloys, and many more.
