TAT Israel, a leading aerospace and defense engineering firm, has inaugurated a new machining center as part of its continued expansion, the company announced on Sunday.
The 1,000-square-meter facility marks the third building at its Israeli complex and will function as a Center of Excellence in machining, strengthening the company’s internal production capabilities.
The new center is equipped with state-of-the-art 5-axis and milling machines designed for hard metals, enabling high-precision production of components such as heat exchanger cores and accessories for thermal management systems. It also supports the refurbishment of precision engine blades customized to client needs.
The investment comes amid global supply chain disruptions, which have underscored the importance of operational resilience. The facility aims to reduce dependence on external suppliers and ensure production continuity under tight schedules.
