Spectrum Machine & Design LLC

Spectrum Machine and Design LLC is an aerospace machine shop in Windsor Locks, Connecticut. It machines large, complex parts for aircraft engines. The company says it handles both one-off development parts and production runs.

Gary and Connie Poesnecker founded the company in 1999 in their family garage. Gary had worked as a toolmaker since he was a teenager. The early work focused on fixtures, gauges, and precision tooling. Connie joined the business full time in 2005.

The company's focus later narrowed to aircraft engine components. These include blades, vanes, blisks, cases, combustors, and other rotating parts made from difficult materials. The site says a major aerospace OEM toured the shop in 2018 and ordered several one-off engine components. Those parts were valued between 200,000 and 450,000 dollars each and took nearly a year to complete.

The site says the company works side by side with a customer's engineering team from the start. It describes a process with a clear plan, process control, and follow-through. The company has a parts gallery that includes a bearing housing, brackets, cowls, ducts, and an oil pump housing.

The company lists certifications and recognitions, as well as a technology page. The site says the work includes large and technically demanding parts. Gary Poesnecker is described as proud of a team that takes ownership and follows through on difficult work.

The site lists the phone number 860.386.6490 and a mailing address at 800 Old County Circle, Windsor Locks, CT 06096. It has pages for careers, get a quote, and a gallery of finished parts. Social pages include LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook. The site says Gary Poesnecker created a place that puts people first, holds high standards, and delivers work customers can trust. For six years, Gary worked two full-time jobs to get the business off the ground.
