Capabilities & Services
What Van Pelt MFG Does
Three integrated service lines built for the complexity of defense, aerospace, and precision commercial manufacturing.
Manufacturing Rep & Sourcing
Direct access to qualified suppliers — no middlemen, no guesswork.
Van Pelt MFG represents best-in-class product lines and sources precision components, tooling, and capital equipment for manufacturers across defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors. We maintain a qualified supplier network built on years of shop-floor experience — so when you need a part, a tool, or a machine, we know exactly where to go and who to trust.
Industries
Component Sourcing
Precision machined parts, castings, forgings, and assemblies from vetted domestic and international suppliers.
Tooling & Equipment
Cutting tools, workholding, metrology equipment, and capital machinery sourced to spec and budget.
OEM Partnerships
Direct manufacturer relationships that give you access to technical support, pricing, and availability others can't match.
Supplier Qualification
We vet suppliers against your program requirements — AS9100, ITAR, NADCAP, or custom quality standards.
Design Consulting
Engineering-level consulting for production systems, process flow, and manufacturing layout.
We speak the language of both the shop floor and the program office. Van Pelt MFG provides hands-on consulting for production system design, process flow optimization, and manufacturing layout — from early concept through production readiness. Whether you're standing up a new line or rationalizing an existing one, we bring the experience to make it work.
Industries
Process Flow Design
Value stream analysis and flow-based production design that eliminates waste and reduces lead time.
Production Layout
Facility and cell layout design optimized for throughput, ergonomics, and future scalability.
DFM Review
Design for manufacturability reviews that catch cost and quality issues before they reach the floor.
Program Support
Embedded consulting support for defense and aerospace programs — from proposal through production.
Lean CNC Shop Buildout
End-to-end design and buildout of efficient, lean CNC machine shops.
Building or expanding a CNC machine shop is a major investment. Van Pelt MFG manages the full buildout process — from equipment selection and cell layout to workflow design and capacity planning — with a lean manufacturing lens that ensures your shop runs efficiently from day one. We've done this before. We know what works.
Industries
Equipment Selection
Machine tool selection matched to your part mix, tolerances, and production volumes — 3-axis through 5-axis.
Cell Layout
Lean cell design that minimizes travel, reduces WIP, and supports one-piece flow where possible.
Lean Implementation
5S, standard work, visual management, and pull systems implemented from the ground up.
Capacity Planning
Load analysis and capacity modeling to right-size your investment and plan for growth.
Industries Served
Defense
ITAR-aware sourcing and production consulting for defense prime contractors and Tier 1 suppliers. We understand the compliance requirements, the documentation demands, and the zero-defect culture of defense manufacturing.
Aerospace
AS9100-aligned processes and precision component sourcing for commercial and military aerospace programs. From airframe structures to engine components, we source and consult at the level the industry demands.
Commercial Manufacturing
Scalable solutions for commercial manufacturers looking to modernize production, reduce cost, and improve quality. We bring defense-grade rigor to commercial environments — without the overhead.
OEM & Prime Contractors
Direct OEM relationships and supply chain consulting for prime contractors managing complex, multi-tier supply chains. We help you find the right suppliers and build the right systems.
