There are a lot of reasons to select Land Sea Air Manufacturing as your manufacturing partner:

  • Innovative thinking. Land Sea Air Manufacturing is recognized nationally for our leadership. The single goal and exclusive focus is to exceed our customers expectations in every way. Read a recent article on Building a Functional Team. 
  • At Land Sea Air Manufacturing, we understand stress and how to avoid it. Our advanced manufacturing techniques for work holding and machine tool paths decrease run times and prevent stress.
  • Trochoidal Milling is used extensively at Land Sea Air Manufacturing. While we did not invent the process nor the algorithms, Land Sea Air Manufacturing has spent years perfecting it. Simply stated, Trochoidal Milling allows substantially faster removal of material while decreasing tool wear. The result is increased efficiency and decreased manufacturing cost.
  • In-house program manager support for customers, programs, and orders. Single point of contact for our customer although customers are encouraged to speak to anyone at Land Sea Air Manufacturing.
  • Multiple 5th Axis Machining Centers.
  • 100% in house CNC and CMM programming.
  • Extremely strong machining capabilities.
  • Lights-Out manufacturing.
  • One to many machinist to machine tool ratio.
  • Full digital thread support in all directions.
  • Fully transparent to customers and partners.
  • Committed to customer support.
  • On-time delivery. Receptive to moving dates to the left.
  • We are often called upon when others fail.

Planning and supply chain management are all essential to success for and with our partners. At Land Sea Air Manufacturing, we respond quickly. Quotes are processed in 1 - 3 business days depending on complexity. Once an order is placed, we begin work immediately.

Material is staged and planning is often complete in-parallel with finalizing the order. The result is a substantially faster delivery. In many cases, shipments from Land Sea Air Manufacturing are made four times faster than our competitors.

Land Sea Air Manufacturing's processes leverage lean business practices including SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Dies). This quick change business process dramatically reduces the time it takes to complete equipment changeovers and restore equipment to productivity.

The essence of the Land Sea Air Manufacturing's SMED process is actually very simple. Convert as many changeover steps as possible to “external” such that they are performed while the equipment is running. This simplifies and streamlines the manufacturing process while reducing risk and setup errors.

By leveraging proprietary business process improvements including state of the art work holding, standardized tool setting, marked locators (zero indicators), multi-pallet, and multi tombstone equipment, our setup process is expedited. This is particularly valuable to satisfy urgent customer requirements.

Best of all, this translates into higher quality, shorter lead time and lower total cost for our customers.
