CPI AEROSTRUCTURES Business Summary

CPI Aerostructures Inc. (CVU) is a precision manufacturer of complex structural aircraft assemblies and integrated systems serving the commercial and defense aerospace markets. The company generates revenue primarily through long-term, fixed-price, and cost-plus contracts, acting as both a prime contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense and a Tier 1 subcontractor for major OEMs like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman. Its primary business segments encompass the production of structural components (such as wing ribs, fuselage sections, and engine inlets), airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) pod systems, and comprehensive Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services. Direct competitors include SIFCO Industries, Ducommun, and Park Aerospace; CPI Aero maintains a competitive edge by offering large-company manufacturing capabilities with the agility and cost-structure of a small-cap specialist. Founded in 1980, the company is currently led by President and CEO Dorith Hakim, who joined in 2022 with an extensive pedigree including executive roles at Parker Hannifin Aerospace, Triumph Group, and Sikorsky Aircraft.
