Tyler and the 425 Fab Division designed, fabricated, and installed the mounting hardware, poles, and support structure for this Hawker 700 almost 8 years ago.

It still looks like it was installed yesterday.

Great job, crew. Built to last.

Our Flight Control Racks (425 P/N 3514) are officially flying ✈️

We’ve had great traction with smaller aviation maintenance companies across the country—but it’s pretty incredible to also support some of the biggest names in aviation.

Proud to have our racks in use with industry leaders like United Airlines, Textron Aviation, and now our newest orders from Gulfstream Aerospace.

A few things that make Gulfstream stand out:
• Their flagship jets (like the G700) are among the fastest and longest-range business jets in the world
• Known for industry-leading cabin pressurization and comfort—lower cabin altitude = less fatigue
• Their aircraft are used by heads of state, Fortune 500 executives, and elite operators worldwide
• Built with cutting-edge aerodynamics and advanced materials for performance and efficiency

To see our equipment supporting operations at this level is something we don’t take lightly.

Built here. Built better. 🇺🇸

🚧 Production Update – StemPro™ Stemming Buckets 🚧

Our first two StemPro™ Stemming Buckets are officially in assembly.

With steel supplier lead times increasing and many customers bringing rigs in for winter maintenance, production is slightly behind our original timeline. That said—the hard work is done, and customer buckets will begin delivering soon.

If you’re looking to pre-order, send me a DM here on LinkedIn. We plan to increase production this spring, but for the foreseeable future, StemPro™ buckets will be first-come, first-served.

Built here. Built right. Built to work.

🎶 Byronfest Vibes! 🎶

Spotted a couple of Stageline SL100 mobile stages in action last night at Byronfest. 🙌 After watching Collin Haberman repair these beasts right in our 425 Fab shop, it’s amazing to see just how massive and impressive they are when set up and rocking a live show! 🚛🔧🎤

Proud to help keep the music rolling! 🎵
