Duval Precision Grinding, a trusted provider of precision grinding services for the aerospace industry with over seven decades of grinding history, has been the vendor of choice for OEMs producing complex aviation equipment including grinding landing gear components, turbine components and engine seals. Following an assessment of the growth of its OEM partner channels, Duval is announcing the Aerospace OEM Grinding Partner Program to further focus resources and development into its successful management of precision grinding program work for aerospace OEMs with complex and long-term requirements currently scheduling in 2020 and beyond.

"Duval's aerospace OEM grinding program is successful because we're focused on communication, reliability, experience, and capacity management," said Jeff Hockenberry, Production Manager.
