The ASPI Story


Allied Specialty Precision began in 1954 as a screw machine shop in Mishawaka, Indiana.  Ten years later, the company expanded its manufacturing base to include general precision machining and assemblies. By 1967, Allied Specialty Precision had outgrown its original facilities and moved into its present location in Mishawaka. As the company expanded, our knack for finding solutions earned us a reputation as the "go-to guys" for the most challenging manufacturing jobs.

Machining Gears ‘Not-As-Gears’ Pays Off

“Look beyond the obvious and you may well find a better way to machine a part, and serve your customer better. That’s the lesson illustrated in a gear-machining application at Allied Specialty Precision, Inc.

To make a long story short, the company dramatically improved the material removal rate and yield while reducing fixture cost and delivery lead time on a family of gears by ‘not treating them as gears.’”

Precision isn't Optional

”Everything made by Allied Specialty Precision Inc. flies. And yet, the Mishawaka company is grounded in its focus as an aerospace component manufacturer. Most planes in the United States contain parts made at the plant.

"We have parts that go in fuel control, brakes and the landing systems," said Pam Rubenstein, Allied Specialty's owner and chief executive officer. "Typically our parts are small. We measure to a millionth of an inch, because when it flies, it's either right or it's dangerous.".

Lessons in Multitasking

"Who better to get things done right the right way than a teacher? Owner and CEO Pam Rubenstein admits it was 'quite an adjustment and very challenging' to give up her career as a teacher to go into the precision-machining business at Allied Specialty Precision Inc. (ASPI—Mishawka, IN). Rubenstein arrived at ASPI in 1989 after a successful career teaching at the high school and college levels, and began to work her way through various positions in the office and factory. In 2005, she purchased the company.

"At first look, Allied Specialty Precision Inc. appears to be simply another good-quality provider of components and subassemblies for aerospace applications, but it’s much more…"

New Mazaks Increase CNC Turning Capacity

December 2008

Allied Specialty Precision has recently added two new state-of-the-art Mazak turning centers, replacing three older CNC machine tools. Our new Integrex 100-IV ST turning center features 6,000-rpm main spindle, a 12,000-rpm rotary tool spindle, a second spindle, dual turrets, and an automatic tool changer and bar feeder. Our new Quickturn 200-II MSY turning center has robotic loading with an 8” chuck and a 26.5” maximum swing capacity, and features dual spindles and a rotary tool spindle.

These machines are designed to eliminate multiple setups, reduce parts handling and minimize down time, resulting in increased value for our customers. This “done-in-one” manufacturing technology also drastically reduces set-up time, allowing for smaller lot sizes to satisfy your JIT delivery requirements. You can count on ASPI and our ongoing commitment to the latest in precision machining technology.
