How We Add Value
At Threadlock Precision, we help our partners thrive by providing support and resources customized to their needs to succeed and grow.
Back-Office
We bring purpose-built technology and processes for handling the administrative heavy lifting to allow our partners to focus on what they do best: precision manufacturing. We take a collaborative approach to streamlining and professionalizing back-office functions—such as accounting, HR, and IT support—to help our partners remain agile and deliver top-quality products.
Technology-Driven Modernization and Capital Support
We offer a suite of resources to help our partners optimize their operations based on their unique needs. Whether it’s upgrading CNC machinery, integrating automation systems, or implementing data-driven platforms for resource planning, we collaborate closely with each business to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement. Our goal is to enhance what’s already working and tailor solutions that drive efficiency, reduce lead times, minimize waste, and increase productivity. We aim for our businesses to unlock new levels of performance and stay competitive without disrupting their core strengths.
Strategic Expansion
After acquisition, we work closely with our partners to develop a strategic expansion plan to scale sustainably. Our approach to growth centers on expanding market presence and winning new business. Where appropriate, we focus on building stronger sales teams, refining bidding strategies, and identifying high-value contracts that align with the company’s expertise. In parallel, we seek to expand capacity—whether by adding to the workforce or strategically expanding facilities—so our partners can meet the demands of new customers and capitalize on emerging market opportunities.
Power of Our Network
We leverage access to an extensive aerospace and defense network, including industry leaders, key suppliers, and potential clients. We facilitate strategic partnerships and collaborations, with the goal of enabling our partners to expand their market presence and secure new opportunities. Additionally, across our network, partners share learnings, industry insights, and problem-solving techniques, helping to drive growth and innovation.
