COMPLEX MACHINING … FABRICATIONS & ASSEMBLIES … TOOLING Stadco, established in 1941, has been in North Los Angeles since its inception. The company has expanded several times, currently with 200,000 square feet of temperature - controlled operations.

Stadco, whose name was derived from Standard Tool and Die Co . , was founded in 1941 by Nat Handel, who expanded the business over the next few decades, ultimately selling to the Nazarian family in 1981 . The Nazarians sold Stadco to a private equity firm in 2010 for $ 27 million . Doug Paletz, who had spent eight years with Stadco, and Bob Parsi, who had spent 12 years with Stadco, left within two years of the sale . Stadco's financial condition and results of operations deteriorated under new ownership over the next several years . In November 2014 , an investment group led by Doug Paletz (CEO, Pres . ) and Bob Parsi (COO) acquired Stadco . Upon taking possession, the new management soon realized that the company was not in as good of a condition as expected and facing significant liabilities . Stadco was not only financially strapped but locked into production contracts that resulted in significant losses over the next several years, as well as financially responsible for damages for a previously defaulted contract . The remaining few loss pieces due under the various contracts are ending this year or in the beginning of calendar year 2022 . From the closing of its acquisition by the recent sellers, Stadco was in serious need of cash, resulting in several financially necessary but punitive transactions . Because of this, Stadco's management had been continually distracted from its core purpose in order to constantly find funds to make payroll and keep suppliers at bay . Stadco history

Stadco is a key supplier of large flight - critical components on several high - profile commercial and military aircraft programs, including military helicopters . It has been a critical supplier to a blue - chip customer base that includes some of the largest OEMs and prime contractors in the defense and aerospace industries . Stadco also provides tooling, customized molds, fixtures, jigs and dies used in the production of aircraft components . Some of Stadco's largest orders run on multi - year - based cycles and it is presently finalizing the latest in string of recurring long - term production contracts that will last through several years and provide a sound economic base upon which we believe we can grow the company . For some of these contracts, it is the most significant supplier, if not the actual or virtual sole supplier . Stadco business

Stadco has a long history of making critical high precision parts for the defense and civil aviation industry, national laboratories, various weapons programs, and space flight . It continues to do so . It has been a prime supplier of parts for the Sikorsky CH - 53 helicopter for over 45 years and continues to be a supplier of critical parts for the current CH - 53 E model and the new CH - 53 K King Stallion heavy lift helicopter . Sikorsky, on October 20 , 2020 , announced that it will build six additional production CH - 53 K King Stallion helicopters under a new contract for the U . S . Navy . The aircraft will further support the U . S . Marine Corps in its mission to conduct expeditionary heavy - lift assault transport of armored vehicles, equipment and personnel to support distributed operations deep inland from a sea - based center of operations . The six helicopters are part of 200 aircraft Program of Record for the U . S . Marine Corps, and their addition makes a total of 24 CH - 53 K production aircraft now under contract . Under the terms of this most recent contract - known as Low - Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lot 4 - Sikorsky will begin delivery of the six aircraft in January 2024 . This 200 aircraft order does not include an expected order from Israel to replace 20 - 25 of its aging helicopters with the CH - 53 K as well as a possible order from Germany for up to 70 of the CH - 53 Ks . Production at Sikorsky is expected to increase to as many as 24 CH - 53 K helicopters per year over the next several years . On June 25 , 2021 , the U . S . Navy awarded Sikorsky a contract to build nine more CH - 53 K King Stallion helicopters . According to a Naval Air Systems Command statement, the Lot 5 contract includes nine helicopters for a value of $ 878 . 7 million, and an option for a Lot 6 contract worth $ 852 . 5 million for nine more helicopters . The Lot 5 low - rate initial production contract increases the number of CH - 53 Ks on contract to 33 . The Lot 5 aircraft are to be delivered in 2024 .
