About Us

Proud to be in Oregon, proud of what we do

Founded in Portland in 1956, PCC Structurals, Inc. makes flight-critical airplane parts that ensure the safety of air travel worldwide. Nearly every aircraft in the sky flies with parts made by PCC Structurals.

We also manufacture critical parts for the U.S. space program, components for systems that deliver energy to remote corners of the world, and devices used in hip and knee replacements that allow people to walk again pain free.

As a home-grown company, PCC Structurals shares the values of our community. We care about protecting our employees and neighbors and minimizing our impact on the environment.

Our work commands attention to safety, detail, and precision. That is reflected in the parts we make and in the way we operate our business.
