Omni Aerospace and Starrag: precision at altitude

A story of partnership, performance, and progress

With the bright glint of the sun ricocheting off the wide expanse of an aircraft’s wing, it’s easy to marvel at modern aerospace engineering. But behind every flawless component that keeps a jet aloft lies a world of dedication, innovation, and precision- driven partnerships. Nowhere is this truer than at Omni Aerospace, nestled in the aerospace capital of the United States, in Wichita, Kansas.

Founded over 25 years ago by CEO John J. O’Neill, Omni Aerospace has built its reputation on producing complex structural metal components for some of the world’s leading aerospace OEMs like Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin, Textron Aviation, and the Department of Defense, to name a few. But as the demands for tighter tolerances, lighter materials, and faster turnaround times grew more intense, Omni faced a critical decision: either evolve, or fall behind. And evolve they did with the help of Starrag’s ECOSPEED F 1540 machining technology.

Starrag’s philosophy in action: “Engineering precisely what you value”

“The ECOSPEED was a game changer. It’s a unique piece of machinery that is unmatched for speed and accuracy.” - John J. O’Neill, CEO Omni Aerospace

The guiding philosophy “Engineering precisely what you value” is more than just a motto. It’s a reality lived every day at Omni. By offering exactly what the customer needs and nothing superfluous Starrag has helped Omni unlock new levels of efficiency, growth, and competitive advantage.

And the numbers tell the story: Omni Aerospace has doubled its revenue since installing its first ECOSPEED. And if not for the pandemic freezing capital investment for a time, the company would be even further ahead today. “No matter what the challenge. No matter the part. No matter the complexity,” O’Neill concludes, “Starrag has helped us not just meet expectations, but exceed them for ourselves and for our customers.”
