October marks Manufacturing Month, a time to shine a spotlight on the industry that builds America from the ground up. From the planes that defend our skies to the medical devices that save lives, manufacturing drives the nation’s innovation, employment, and economic stability.
At Fairchild Precision Parts, we’re proud to be part of this vital ecosystem. For over 80 years, we’ve supported aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial sectors with precision‑machined components that keep complex systems performing flawlessly. Our contribution may start with a single CNC‑turned part, but it extends to something much bigger—the strength of U.S. manufacturing itself.
1) The Engine of the U.S. Economy
Manufacturing accounts for more than 10% of total U.S. GDP and supports millions of high‑skill, high‑wage jobs. Every dollar invested in manufacturing adds nearly $2.50 to the economy—more than any other sector. When manufacturing thrives, so do the communities around it.
By keeping production here at home, companies like Fairchild help sustain that cycle of economic impact—supporting local suppliers, creating skilled careers, and ensuring that critical capabilities remain within American borders.
2) Innovation Starts on the Shop Floor
Manufacturing is where ideas become reality. Engineers, machinists, and technicians work side by side to turn designs into dependable products. At Fairchild, that spirit of innovation lives in every part we make—whether it’s an aerospace fastener that withstands extreme conditions or a medical component that demands microns of precision.
Our advanced CNC Swiss turning and multi‑axis machining capabilities allow us to achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.0001″, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in modern manufacturing.
3) Strengthening the U.S. Supply Chain
Recent years have shown how critical it is to maintain a resilient domestic manufacturing base. When supply chains are stretched across oceans, delays and disruptions can quickly ripple through industries. American manufacturers like Fairchild provide stability, responsiveness, and quality control that global outsourcing simply can’t match.
By investing in automation, skilled labor, and certified quality systems, we help our customers build secure, dependable supply chains—ensuring their parts arrive on time, to spec, and ready for mission‑critical use.
4) A Workforce Worth Celebrating
Manufacturing Month is also about people—the engineers, operators, inspectors, and programmers who bring precision to life every day. At Fairchild, we’re fortunate to have a team that embodies craftsmanship, curiosity, and pride in their work. Their expertise is the reason we’ve maintained customer partnerships for decades.
Investing in training and technology ensures that the next generation of skilled tradespeople can carry this legacy forward. American manufacturing isn’t just about machines—it’s about people working together to solve complex challenges.
5) Quality that Defines Confidence
With our ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certifications, Fairchild Precision Parts delivers a level of consistency and traceability that customers depend on. Every process—from incoming inspection to final verification—is designed to meet rigorous industry standards. That quality mindset ensures reliability, safety, and trust across every industry we serve.
Why Manufacturing Matters
Manufacturing isn’t just a sector—it’s the foundation of national strength. It fuels innovation, secures supply chains, and provides meaningful careers that sustain local communities. Companies like Fairchild keep that foundation strong through dedication to precision, quality, and continuous improvement.
As we celebrate Manufacturing Month, we honor every machinist, engineer, and manufacturer who helps shape America’s future.
