The cluster next door
Querétaro concentrates more than 80 aerospace companies and keeps growing on the order books of the A321XLR and the LEAP engine programs. Mexico is now the fourth largest aerospace exporter in the world. All of that sits about two hours from our plant in León. We're close enough for a same-week visit, and far enough to keep Bajío costs.
We wrote a full briefing on the cluster and what it means for sourcing: Aerospace machining in Mexico.
Why aerospace parts like our process
The alloys that fly are the alloys that fight a cutter. Titanium traps heat at the tool edge. Inconel work hardens. Hardened steels eat inserts. Our answer is the same one the big shops use: machine what should be machined, and cut the rest by wire EDM, which doesn't care about hardness and puts no force into the part. Thin walls stay flat, hardened details come out sharp, and there's no induced stress for an inspector to find later.
Honest about certification
We hold ISO 9001:2015 with lot traceability, material certs and a dimensional report on every shipment. We are not AS9100 certified today, and we won't pretend otherwise. Plenty of aerospace work, tooling, fixtures, ground support and development parts, runs on exactly the documentation we provide. If your program needs AS9100 down the line, tell us; that conversation is part of our roadmap.
Are you AS9100 certified?
Not yet. We run ISO 9001:2015 with full lot traceability, material certificates and dimensional reports, and we are open about that. If your program requires AS9100, talk to us; for many support and tooling parts, documented ISO 9001 quality is what the work actually calls for.
What aerospace materials do you machine?
Titanium Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 625 and 718, 17-4 PH stainless and hardened tool steels. Wire EDM cuts these alloys after heat treatment without cutting forces or induced stress.
How close are you to Querétaro?
About two hours by highway from León. Same-week visits to your plant or program office are normal for us.
What kind of parts fit your shop?
Machined components, tooling, fixtures, inserts and prototypes in hard alloys, especially geometry that needs EDM: sharp internal corners, thin walls, hardened details that cutters cannot reach.
