CPI Aerostructures Inc. builds structural aircraft parts and related assemblies for both military and commercial aviation programs. The company works as a prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Defense and as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier to major aerospace OEMs and defense contractors. Its work spans aircraft structural assemblies, reconnaissance and tactical pod structures, engine air inlets, fuel panel systems, and complex welded products. CPI Aero also provides engineering, program management, supply chain management, kitting, assembly operations, and MRO support around these build-to-print and build-to-spec programs. The business is heavily tied to long-term contract awards, program timing, and customer funding decisions, which makes backlog and execution discipline central to performance.
