Leading Edge started as a propeller repair and contract service shop in 1988.  Welding and fabrication capabilities were steadily developed in the early years to fill unique needs for the marine industry. By the mid-1990’s Leading Edge was emerging as a specialty machining and welding contractor servicing tool & die, aerospace, military and general manufacturing sectors.Recognizing its new position, the company changed its strategic focus by divesting its marine propeller business and investing in advance machining and fabrication equipment.

By the late-90’s, Leading Edge was relocated in a new facility in the Montague Industrial Park complete with state-of-the-art programmable abrasive waterjet and machining centers. Complementary fabrication equipment such as press brake, cutting equipment and a full spectrum of welding technology were also in put in place to facilitate the needs of its expanding customer base.  Initial quality systems development began.

Today, Leading Edge is ISO9001:2008 + AS9100C and Nadcap Accredited for Welding certified organization specializing in welding, machining and fabricating with expertise in exotic materials.
