Tide Rock, an unlevered buyout firm with a portfolio of diverse, economically resilient B2B businesses, announced today the acquisitions of Precision Waterjet & Laser (now, Precision Advanced Machining) in Anaheim, California, and Made in America Manufacturing in Buda, Texas. Together, these acquisitions establish two complementary precision machining platforms serving blue-chip aerospace, space systems, and advanced industrial customers nationwide.
"We are excited to welcome both Precision and Made in America into the Tide Rock family," said Brooks Kincaid, President of Tide Rock. "These companies bring best-in-class capabilities, blue-chip customer relationships, and modern facilities in two of the nation's most important aerospace and defense manufacturing hubs. This positions us to meet the growing demand for high-precision, high-complexity components while offering our customers increased capacity, geographic redundancy, and an expanded suite of services."
Precision Waterjet & Laser specializes in waterjet, laser cutting, CNC machining, and full-service metal fabrication from a technologically advanced facility in Southern California. Customers include blue chip Space & Space Systems, Aerospace and Defense and Industrial organizations. With a diversified full-service offering that includes forming, welding, painting, and plating, the company is one of only a handful of suppliers capable of machining, waterjet, and laser cutting under one roof. Precision Waterjet & Laser is AS9100D- and ISO 9001:2015-certified, ensuring compliance with stringent aerospace, defense, and space industry requirements.
Made in America Manufacturing is also an AS9100D- and ISO 9001:2015-certified, ITAR-registered precision machining company. Located near Austin, Texas, Made in America Manufacturing specializes in tight-tolerance, complex cylindrical and milled components. Operating advanced milling and lathe machines, the company serves subsea fiber optics, aerospace, defense, and marine industries. MIA's customer list includes blue chip Space and Space systems companies, as well as Tier 1 defense primes.
The two platforms will operate independently to provide customers with two geographically strategic, fully equipped manufacturing bases, each capable of scaling production, reducing lead times, and delivering mission-critical quality standards.
