Actron Manufacturing

Actron Manufacturing Inc. designs and manufactures aerospace hardware in the United States: latches, retainers, slides, pulls, handles and knobs used in aircraft interiors. The company was founded in 1971 by Robert Rechberg, a machinist and engineer who learned his trade in the watch-making business in Germany and the United States, with the goal of designing and manufacturing new latching hardware. Its first product line was aerospace latches, and it remains a family company. Actron holds AS9100 certification and makes every product in the USA, from concept and design through manufacturing.

Products

• Latches, including paddle sliding lavatory latches
• Door retainers
• Aluminium extension slides, which the company describes as the industry's lightest and quietest slide products
• Pulls, handles and knobs
• Custom applications quoted on request

Markets

Actron components are used in commercial airline cabins, where strength and durability matter, and in private and business jets, where custom designs and fine finishes are required. The company also serves military aviation, marine and other markets. It sells through sales representatives and a worldwide network of distributors listed on its site, and provides specifications and test reports for its parts.

Manufacturing

Over the decades Actron added computer numerical control machine tools, computer-aided design and shop floor management systems to hold product quality and speed orders through production. It says it rigorously crafts and tests its hardware and that clients can rely on every specification and test report. Customer testimonials on the site come from a director of product management and a client of almost ten years who describes Actron as a solid family company.
