Founded in 1961 as Northwest Industries and now operating under the name NWI Defense, our company began as a hub for precision machining, forging, and fabrication of metals crucial to space exploration, weapons systems, and atomic energy research. With over 60 years of expertise in refractory metals, NWI Defense has emerged as a leader in forging and machining rare metals.

We are proud members of the following organizations:

Based in Albany, Oregon, our 25,000 square foot facility manufactures high-quality components for aerospace, defense, medical, and other industries. We are committed to delivering exceptional quality and ensuring timely delivery, principles that have defined our service since the 1960s.
