Aerospace parts other shops won’t quote.
Argent handles the RFQs commodity platforms and overloaded shops struggle to quote: exotic alloys, EDM, aerospace welding, CNC machining, finishing, and specialty processes. Argent manufactures hard-to-source aerospace and defense components through qualified U.S. suppliers and affiliated in-house CNC capacity. Engineering-led execution. ITAR registration pending.
Five process areas. Qualified U.S. manufacturing partners.
We focus on the processes commodity platforms can’t quote — the ones that require engineering judgment, material expertise, and active relationships with specialty shops. Each capability area is supported by a curated set of U.S. manufacturing partners. Partners are qualified by process, material, documentation, and compliance requirements. AS9100, ITAR, Nadcap, and other accreditations are used where required.
A manufacturing partner with operating history.
Argent was founded in 2026 by the leadership of Redstone Manufacturing, an established 8-year manufacturer with $25M+ delivered across U.S. and international operations. Argent applies that operating experience to U.S.-only aerospace and defense manufacturing, with ITAR registration pending.
Our leadership brings aerospace structural engineering experience from leading new-space and commercial programs — including flight hardware for the New Shepard Crew Capsule, the Lunar Human Landing System, and the Boeing 777X. We’re backed by a 5-axis CNC machining facility in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood — capacity we route to when timeline or complexity demands it.
Engineering-led manufacturing. Not an algorithm.
The aerospace manufacturing market has two ends: large commodity platforms that auto-quote simple geometry on common materials, and small specialty shops that don’t market themselves online. Neither handles the work in between — complex parts, exotic alloys, tight programs, supplier relationships that matter. That’s what we do.
From RFQ to delivered parts.
A typical aerospace RFQ moves slowly because the buyer is chasing quotes from shops that don’t respond, can’t quote, or quote unrealistic lead times. We do the work up front: review the print, match the supplier, confirm capacity, and deliver a real quote with real dates.
