Standex Aerospace & Defense

Advanced metal forming solutions

Standex Aerospace & Defense

Our A&D segment manufactures large customized near net metal formed components such as fuel domes, lip skins and other aerospace components. Our unique spin forming process is the most efficient forming process for these parts, while we also have a complimentary deep draw forming process for parts with varying shapes and contours. These parts are difficult to manufacture due to their size and tight specification. With facilities in US and UK, our segment is positioned to serve customers in the space, aviation and defense markets in the North American and European regions. Our deep knowledge in the forming process combined with our multiple decades of experience have positioned us as a critical manufacturing partner.

We are the global leader for lip skins in the commercial aviation market, we entered the Space market with fuel domes and have added engine nozzles, liners and baffle plates recently. For the defense market, we manufacture nose cones and complex metal components for critical missile programs. Our business was proud to have substantial content on recently launched Artemis-2 Lunar Program.
