L.A.Gauge was founded in 1954 as a precision gauge manufacturer. It soon expanded into gauge tolerance production parts, exotic metal and ceramic parts. In 1968 we designed and constructed our current primary 30,000 sq. ft manufacturing facility that includes environmental controls for ultra precision measurement and handling of exotic metals.
LA Gauge's plant was designed specifically for handling Beryllium and other exotic materials. The facility has a working Metrology Laboratory with temperature and humidity controls, and a Class 100 Laminar Flow Clean Room for LOX cleaning, assembly and packaging solutions.
LA Gauge Co. prides itself on its commitment to continually improve its processes. This commitment demands that we understand, meet, and exceed the needs and expectations of our customers – both inside and outside the company.
LA Gauge Co. accomplishes this by being an innovator in lean manufacturing practices, using global benchmarking, and forming strategic alliances to obtain world class recognition. Some of our lean tools include:
- AS-9100 certified
- Certified Operator Programs
- Visual Manufacturing
- Statistical Process Control
