About LMI Aerospace
LMI Aerospace, Inc. is a leading provider of structural components, assemblies and kits to the aerospace, defense and technology industries. We fabricate, machine, finish and integrate formed, close tolerance aluminum and specialty alloy components and sheet metal products primarily for large commercial, corporate and military aircraft. We manufacture more than 30,000 products for integration into a variety of aircraft platforms manufactured by leading original equipment manufacturers, referred to as OEMs, and Tier 1 aerospace suppliers.
Founded in 1948 as a manufacturer of components to the large commercial aircraft market of the aerospace industry, LMI Aerospace went public in 1998. In recent years we have expanded our capabilities and diversified our operations through a number of acquisitions and business initiatives.
In 2001 we acquired the operating assets of Tempco Engineering, Inc., which expanded our aerospace product line and added technology components used in semiconductor and medical equipment. LMI acquired Versaform Corporation and Southern Stretch Forming and Fabrication, Inc., producers of large formed metal components for the regional jet, business jet and military markets of the aerospace industry.
Since 2003 LMI has expanded into assembling and kitting and opened a distribution center in Savannah, Georgia. In 2006, we opened a 23,000 square foot manufacturing center in Mexicali, Mexico, that will support our U.S. operations.
In 2007 LMI Aerospace acquired San Diego-based D3 Technologies, Inc., a premier design and engineering services firm. The company performs structure and sub-structure design work for manufacturers of commercial, business and military aircraft, for Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, Vought Aircraft, Airbus North America, Lockheed Martin, and others including key roles on the JSF for Lockheed and Boeing's 747-8, 777, and 787 programs. D3 Technologies' engineers have worked on a range of design and analysis projects including airframe, electro/mechanical and hydraulic/pneumatic systems and have expertise in mechanical, structural, and system design; stress and finite element analysis; tool design and engineering; numerical controlled programming; logistics and program support; and avionics software and hardware development.
In addition to aerospace products, we produce components and assemblies for laser equipment used by semiconductor and medical equipment manufacturers in the technology industry. We also provide prototyping and design capabilities to these customers to support new product development.
