Aerospace

With massive names like Northrup Grummun and JPL calling the San Gabriel Valley home, it’s no surprise that many smaller aerospace companies also populate the region.

In addition, the San Gabriel Valley is home to many small, independent machine shops that service aerospace as well as other industries’ needs.

Dow Hydraulics

Dow Hydraulic Systems started out with a single honing machine in a garage and a vision for the future. After almost 50 years and 3 generations of Dow Family leaders, it operates in over 30, 000 sq. ft. in Pomona and La Verne, and employs over 150 people. Much of the success can be accredited to the second generation of Dow family members that have been able to take their father’s vision and turn it into a successful, reputable, and well known leader in the aerospace industry.
