Rave Gears and Machining is an aerospace manufacturer based in Seguin, Texas, producing precision components for some of the most mission-critical platforms in the U.S. military — including roughly 30 unique parts for the Apache helicopter.
The company’s work demands exacting standards, and sustaining that quality means investing as much in people as in parts.
Rave Gears VP of Operations Nehal Patel and two of the company’s CNC machinists discuss what it takes to build for the Apache, how Rave Gears develops the next generation of aerospace manufacturing talent, and why working on hardware that matters makes all the difference.
