Stevens Aerospace and Defense Systems (Stevens) has announced that its Greenville, S.C. (GYH) location has acquired a Hass VF-2SS High-Performance Super-Speed Vertical CNC machine, giving it the capability of manufacturing parts in-house. This capability will serve all four Stevens’ locations and will decrease customer costs and down-times when immediate or the need for lower-cost parts arises, or when vendor lead times and price points can be improved.
The investment will also aid in Stevens’ STC development projects, resulting in quicker solutions to market at reduced costs. Combining this new capability with Stevens’ in-house engineering support ultimately gives the customer a better product, at a lower cost, and a quicker return to service.
