Our Capabilities

Wilshire Precision’s Complete Motor Division began building development motors for critical, high-reliability aerospace applications in 2004. Since that time, we have gone into production on a number of motors for Honeywell and Moog. Our focus going forward is to expand our production lines, and to use our nearly seventy years of manufacturing knowledge and expertise to provide complete and reliable motor building solutions for the aerospace industry.

Wilshire Precision offers precision machining services using state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing equipment, with maximum capacities of 12” diameter x 24” length for CNC turning and 50” x 20” x 20” xyz for CNC milling. Our modern facilities include an advanced MRP system, a cutting-edge quality assurance department, and nearly sixty years of hands-on manufacturing experience. Our focus on the principles of lean manufacturing and process control is your guarantee of on-time delivery, unbeatable quality and very competitive pricing.

Nearly 70 Years of Precision Machining Excellence

The Wilshire Precision Story

Wilshire Precision traces its roots to 1951, when Harold Lewis started a small machine shop on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Like most Southern California precision machine shops in the 1950’s, Wilshire offered its services to the burgeoning local aerospace industry. It was during these early years that Wilshire Precision established a reputation for uncompromising quality and outstanding customer service that is at the foundation of our success today.

Uncompromising Quality and Outstanding Customer Service is the Foundation of our Success

Today, Wilshire Precision is at the leading edge of the precision manufacturing industry with ongoing contracts to build complete electric motors for Military and Commercial applications. All manufacturing and assembly is done at our facility in North Hollywood, with strict in-process quality control and an advanced MRP system to assure that every component, large or small, meets or exceeds our customers’ requirements. Our state-of-the-art facility is NADCAP approved and certified to ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D, and is designed around the principles of lean manufacturing to maximize efficiency and product reliability. In addition to our manufacturing services, we offer engineering consultation to help you design manufacturability into your products, and deliver value and reliability to your customers.
