Description

ERA Industries LLC is a distinguished contract manufacturer with a strong focus on precision machining and assemblies, serving a diverse range of industries including Aerospace, Military, Medical, Semiconductor, and Transportation. Established in 1982, ERA Industries has developed a robust reputation for delivering high-quality, precision machined components with a commitment to on-time delivery. The company utilizes advanced manufacturing technologies such as up to 5 Axis milling, turning with mill/turn capabilities, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), Aluminum Vacuum Brazing, various grinding techniques (surface, OD/ID, and thread), waterjet cutting, and comprehensive assembly services. ERA Industries emphasizes quality as the foundation of its operations, maintaining AS9100 Rev D certification and ITAR registration to ensure compliance with stringent industry standards and support safety across the sectors it serves. Over the years, ERA Industries has strategically expanded its operational footprint and capabilities. In 2009, the acquisition of A & M Tool enhanced its commercial machining capacity, increasing its facility size to 26,000 square feet. The company relocated in 2012 to a larger 85,000 square foot facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, reflecting its growth trajectory. A significant partnership formed in 2014 with Aphelion Precision Technologies introduced advanced 5 Axis Milling, Turning, Aluminum Vacuum Brazing, and EDM capabilities, particularly strengthening its aerospace and military manufacturing expertise. This partnership added an additional 42,000 square foot facility, and by 2016, Aphelion Precision integrated fully into ERA’s Elk Grove facility, expanding the combined entity to 92,000 square feet. ERA Industries has embraced cutting-edge manufacturing philosophies, notably transitioning to multi-axis milling with horizontal and 5 Axis machines equipped with multiple pallets to enable lights-out machining—operating 24/7 without manual intervention. This focus on automation and precision has been supported by continuous capital investment aimed at enhancing capacity and efficiency. The company also offers apprenticeship programs and career opportunities, fostering growth within the manufacturing trade and supporting a dedicated workforce committed to excellence. With a forward-looking approach, ERA Industries continues to expand its capabilities and strengthen its team to meet evolving customer needs, positioning itself as a reliable partner in precision contract manufacturing.
