Tracing its roots to the Cleveland Cap Screw Company of the early 1900s, Aviation Component Solutions manufactures FAA-PMA replacement parts for commercial aircraft. The Cleveland-based company grew through aviation-component operations associated with Thompson Products, TRW, and Argo-Tech before becoming independent in 2006, and it remains under second-generation Lipscomb family leadership. Reverse engineering—developed during its World War II-era work—continues to shape ACS’s approach to designing and producing OEM-alternative parts.
