ELM Aerospace

ELM Aerospace is a family-owned maker of electromechanical parts. The company was founded in 1988 by Luis Mendivil. It began by building high-reliability stators and now works as a build-to-print contract manufacturer. Build-to-print means it makes parts exactly to the customer's drawings. The site names commercial, military and medical customers.

The company's main work is winding. It makes precision windings, which include stators, rotors and armatures. It also makes electromagnetic parts such as magnetic brakes and fields. A third group is specialized assemblies, such as inductors and varistors. The site says these parts serve aircraft auxiliary systems and the aftermarket. The aftermarket is the market for parts used after an aircraft is built.

Precision is a key claim. The site says its components hold tolerances up to plus or minus 0.0005 inches. The company states it follows customer specifications and prints very closely. It also offers reverse engineering for older parts that no longer have drawings.

The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D:2016 certification. These are quality system standards. The site adds that it is moving toward NADCAP accreditation. NADCAP is a program that audits special aerospace processes. It describes a culture of strict inspection and steady improvement.

ELM Aerospace is based in the Mexicali and Calexico aerospace cluster. It calls itself a binational company, with operations on both sides of the border between the United States and Mexico. The site says compliance with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, known as USMCA, supports trade without duties and smooth logistics for the North American aerospace supply chain. It also reports factory floor space in use and more space ready for new programs.

The company says its people matter most. It invests in employees and builds a culture aimed at quality. Its stated mission is to deliver precise electromechanical solutions for aerospace and defense. Its stated goal is to be a trusted partner to global aerospace firms and to support the full life of mission-critical systems.
