Bandy Manufacturing was founded by Gerry W. Bandy in 1953 to provide high quality hinges for the burgeoning aircraft industry. After a succession of corporate owners that began in 1995 and ended in August 2017, the company is now, once again, privately-held after its acquisition from GKN Aerospace by JW Hill Capital. The company is building on its past entrepreneurial and customer-focused history, with the goal of creating a dynamic and forward-thinking culture.
The Company’s fleet of CNC milling machines combined with its custom hinge drilling and slotting machines allows it to make custom hinges ranging in length from 0.5 inches to 40 feet. Each year Bandy supplies more than one million hinges, access panels, structural components, door panels and assemblies to customers around the globe. Bandy supports virtually every type and class of aircraft and aerospace vehicle: whether military or commercial, civil or private.
Bandy can produce more than 1 mile (almost 6,000 feet) of extruded aluminum MS20001 hinges per day. Bandy’s customized, proprietary drilling machines can drill a 40-foot hinge pin hole while maintaining a concentricity tolerance of .005 inch.
