ECT Aerospace’s largest cli-
ents today are Spirit AeroSystems
and Boeing, but others on the long
list of those taking advantage of
TECT Aerospace’s unique offering
include Subaru, Triumph, Kawa-
saki Heavy Industries and Lock-
heed Martin. Rod Holter, General
Manager of TECT Aerospace states
that TECT in the Pacific Northwest
has provided the complex assem-
blies that manage the Boeing 737
flight controls since their inception.
“We are now accelerating to meet
the unprecedented Boeing project
demands. It is an exciting time in
aerospace in the Northwest.”
With a workforce that exceeds 650
employees, TECT Aerospace takes
great pride in the level of knowl-
edge and innovation they have at
their fingertips. Rod shared, “TECT
has a highly skilled work force that
is creative and responsive to the
ever-changing needs of our cus-
tomers. Through the depth of our
workforce and technology we are
able to provide a comprehensive
vertical integration that machines
the specialty parts that feed com-
plex multi-level assemblies.” Rod
goes on to confirm, “TECT has
invested in the future by purchas-
ing an “additive manufacturing”
machine, mill turns and live tool
lathes. These investments permit us
to machine the most complex ma-
chined parts along with the vertical
integration of complex assemblies
with as many as 10 level bills of
material.” Investments such as
these prove TECT Aerospace’s in-
tention to be the preferred supplier
of aerospace integrated solutions.
