History

Lordon Engineering opened for business in January 1961 with a new South Bend Lathe, renting a corner space in another machine shop on Prairie Ave. in Hawthorne.

First machine, 1961 South Bend, restored 1995

In June 1961, we moved to a small rental on 169th St. in Gardena and shared space with George Burkhardt Machine.  Several years later, we moved into our own unit and eventually occupied 4 units.

1972 saw our 1st N.C. machine arriving and life in the machine shop business changed forever.

In 1976, we purchased land and built a 20,000 sq. ft. building (Joe Mannara - contractor) at our present location.

We were involved in the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and shuttle programs and are currently producing parts for the International Space Station.

Along with parts and assemblies for the commercial aviation market, we are currently or have supplied precision parts for the auto racing, medical, semi-conductor and movie industries.

We have evolved into one of the most modern, competitive, well rounded CNC machine and EDM facilities in Southern California.  We presently occupy 12,500 sq. ft. of a 20,000 ft. building that was specifically designed for the most efficient execution of our operations.

We are currently operating on a 2 shift basis with 3rd shift lights out capability.
