About us
We opened our doors in 1849. Our founder, Charles Ducommun, supplied critical hardware during the California Gold Rush. From metals to business loans, Ducommun has provided aviation pioneers (Lindbergh, Douglas, and Lockheed, to name a few) with solutions since the birth of the aerospace industry in Southern California. We're proud to be the oldest continuously operating company in California.
Today, Ducommun is a global provider of innovative manufacturing solutions for customers in the aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. We specialize in two core areas – electronic systems and structural systems – to produce complex products and components for commercial aircraft platforms, mission-critical military and space programs, and sophisticated industrial applications. Our company is organized to leverage our full spectrum of capabilities through common, companywide processes and value-added services like new product introduction, supply chain strategies, and program management.
