Primary Industries in San Jose

San Jose’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.

Semiconductor

Wafer handling & chamber components

San Jose's semiconductor corridor — from the equipment makers in Santa Clara and Fremont to the chip designers on North First Street — generates machining demands that general fab shops can't handle: ultra-clean surfaces, contamination-controlled processes, and equipment uptime schedules that don't wait.

Aerospace

Flight-critical precision parts

San Jose anchors Silicon Valley's aerospace corridor — Lockheed Martin Space operates its satellite and deep-space exploration programs from nearby Sunnyvale, Northrop Grumman's mission systems division builds space sensors in San Jose, and dozens of startups develop autonomous flight systems, satellite components, and electric propulsion across the South Bay.

Defense

Mil-spec components & assemblies

San Jose sits at the center of Silicon Valley's defense technology corridor — Lockheed Martin's Space division in Sunnyvale, Northrop Grumman's mission systems in San Jose, and dozens of DARPA-funded startups building autonomous systems, AI-driven ISR platforms, and electronic warfare tools across the South Bay.
