Space and Defense Product Offering
Diverse range of products leveraging Reinhold’s breadth of composite and metal manufacturing capabilities
-
Why Space and Defense Composites Are Attractive
Products require a higher level of precision and conformance
Products must meet strength, weight, thermal requirements and other critical thresholds
Manufacture requires differentiated and technically-difficult production capabilities
How Reinhold Is Further Differentiated

Case Study: Patriot PAC-2 / GEM-T
Expanding Work Statement on Patriot PAC-2
Reinhold’s Role
Description:
Reinhold is a legacy Patriot supplier for nozzles
Challenge:
Requires advanced metal machining and machining of bonded composite-metal components
Seamless program transition including simultaneous production ramp-up and program growth (increasing orders)
Old program design and obsolete drawing requiring reverse engineering of the production process
-
Solution:
Close collaboration with the customer to transfer manufacturing knowledge
Deploy engineering and manufacturing resources to understand processes, techniques and ways to leverage Reinhold’s technologies to quickly ramp up production
Matched skills of direct labor pool to program and manufacturing requirements
Results:
Reinhold now produces expanded number of components, sub-assemblies and assemblies
