Defense Production Capacity. Deployed at Scale.
Advanced Defense Solutions is a joint venture of MJC Engineering & Technology in Huntington Beach, California and WF Maschinenbau in Sendenhorst, Germany. Together they build chipless metal forming systems that produce shell bodies, missile cases, launcher structures and pressure vessels, on either continent, to the same standard.
One interface. Dual Continent Manufacturing.
One point of contact, two production bases. You describe the component. ADS scopes the forming system and sources it from the plant that fits the program, the volume and the region.

More ways to build it. One point of contact.
WF and MJC arrive at the same finished component by different routes. Neither route is the better one. Which fits depends on the part mix, the volume and the program, and that is the call ADS makes with you.

WF Maschinenbau
Broad by design. One integrated cell covers a wide span of parts, so a single system carries a changing mix of work.
-
MJC Engineering & Technology
Specific by design. Each machine is built around the component it produces, so the specification follows the part.
Tell us what you are making, and we will tell you how to make it.
Part envelope, material and annual volume are enough to start. We will come back with the forming platform, the system and the production base that fit.
