Hadrian - Manufacturing the Future

Hadrian builds software-defined high precision component factories supporting the top aerospace and defense companies in the world.  We have substantially scaled our business and operations to fill out our current 100,000 sq. ft., factory (based in Torrance) and are close to finalizing the location of our next which will be 3-4 times the size with broadened capabilities. Our team leverages various current and advanced technologies and builds custom in-house software solutions to help improve, automate and scale the future of manufacturing in the U.S.  You will not find a more automated, high-precision and quality performant parts manufacturer.
