Primary Industries in New York
New York’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.
Medical Devices
New York City is a global epicenter of medical device development — NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, Columbia University Medical Center, and Weill Cornell Medicine generate a massive pipeline of clinical device innovations. Medtronic, Stryker, and J&J maintain NYC commercial and R&D operations, BioSig Technologies develops cardiac electrophysiology devices, and the city's deep venture capital ecosystem funds hundreds of device startups annually across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the broader metro.

New York's aerospace sector carries the legacy of Grumman Aircraft (now Northrop Grumman) on Long Island — where the F-14 Tomcat, Apollo Lunar Module, and E-2 Hawkeye were built. Today, Northrop Grumman maintains electronic warfare and space systems operations on Long Island, BAE Systems operates in Greenlawn, and the metro area's dense network of defense contractors supports avionics, radar, and satellite component machining. JFK and LaGuardia airports sustain commercial MRO demand.
