CHADWICK OPTICAL, INC.

Chadwick Optical, Inc. specializes in the precision manufacturing of critical metal components for defense and industrial fluid systems, with deep expertise in valve assemblies, stems, seats, retainers, and shoulderered washers. The company designs and produces high-integrity, mission-critical parts used in hydraulic, pneumatic, and propulsion systems, ensuring compliance with stringent military specifications for durability, leak-tightness, and dimensional accuracy. Their technical capabilities include CNC machining, precision grinding, and metallurgical finishing of alloy steels and corrosion-resistant metals, with a focus on complex geometries requiring tight tolerances. A key differentiator is their consistent delivery of replacement and repair components for legacy defense platforms, enabling extended service life for aging systems without compromising performance. The contractor maintains a longstanding relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying precision-fabricated parts for naval, aerospace, and ground vehicle systems. Their work supports propulsion, actuation, and fluid control subsystems across multiple platforms, demonstrating an ability to meet urgent operational needs with rapid turnaround on low-volume, high-reliability components. Chadwick Optical’s primary industry focus lies in industrial and fluid power valve manufacturing, including the production of valve disks, seats, stems, and retainer assemblies under NAICS 332911 and 332912. They serve niche markets requiring ruggedized, non-standard fittings for harsh environments, positioning themselves as a trusted supplier for specialized metal valve components where commercial off-the-shelf solutions are inadequate. As a Women-Owned Small Business certified under the SBA’s 8(a) and WOSB programs, Chadwick Optical operates from its facility in Red Hill, Pennsylvania, leveraging its small business status to compete for set-aside contracts while maintaining agile production processes tailored to defense supply chain demands. Their certification enhances their credibility in federal procurement markets focused on diversity and small business participation.
