Industry Overview
Aerospace is a vast and ever-evolving sector. It involves creating, making, and fixing planes, and rocket systems. This sector requires high accuracy parts because even small errors can lead to disastrous results. Thus, manufacturers always use CNC machining for precise aerospace parts.
CNC machining is one central feature of the aviation manufacturing process as it produces complex components with very strict tolerances. At Othala we make high precision fittings for aircraft according to OEM specifications. We strive for excellence through our modern machinery and knowledgeable personnel. We produce each component capable of surviving extreme scenarios common in aircraft situations.
