Primary Industries in Newark
Newark’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.
Aerospace
Newark's aerospace sector centers on Newark Liberty International Airport's massive commercial aviation operations — United Airlines' hub drives MRO component demand, while northern New Jersey's dense manufacturing corridor produces avionics housings, structural brackets, and engine components for defense primes across the region. Curtiss-Wright's defense and industrial operations in the metro, Moog's motion control presence, and proximity to Long Island's Northrop Grumman operations create a diverse aerospace machining market.
