Presents a Plant Tour at Frisby Aerospace, Clemmons, NC

For over 60 years, Frisby Aerospace has been a leader in the design, manufacture and repair of complex hydraulic and hydro-mechanical aircraft components and systems. The company’s diverse product line includes fixed and variable displacement pumps and motors, linear actuators, valves and numerous other components used on a wide range of commercial and military aircraft. Frisby’s extensive customer list includes every major airframe manufacturer in North America and Europe including Boeing and Airbus.

Frisby began as a small machine shop on Long Island, New York in 1940. During the next six decades, the company’s capabilities expanded to include the assembly and testing of hydraulic components, as well as design engineering. In the early 1990s, a second facility was established in Clemmons, North Carolina to accommodate the company’s growth in commercial aircraft components and aftermarket support. This facility is now the main facility of Frisby. This expansion was fueled by internal growth and several significant acquisitions of related product lines. In early 1998, Frisby joined the Triumph Group.

The Clemmons shop has a mix of machines.  They have about 20 CNC machines, including vertical mills, horizontal 4-axis mills, 2-axis lathes, a turn-mill lathe, swiss machines, grinders, EDM sinker, and the usual Bridgeport style manual mills and manual lathes. You will also see lean principles in action.
