What Voss Industries makes

Voss Industries manufactures high-performance clamping, coupling, and fluid-connection components, primarily for aerospace but with a stamped-coupling line that reaches into commercial-vehicle and industrial fluid systems. The core catalog centers on band clamps and V-band couplings: T-bolt band clamps, quick-release T-bolt clamps, and the company's Perfect Seal clamps, built in stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, and superalloys for hose clamping and ducting on commercial and military aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Its V-retainer and V-band couplings run from economical single-segment stamped parts to machined couplings for jet-turbine engines, rated for service temperatures up to 1,200 degrees F.

The company also makes machined and metal-formed couplings for aircraft bleed-air and environmental control system ducting, sheet-metal and machined flanges (including nickel alloy 625 and 718 and titanium versions), and metallic E-seals and C-seals qualified to AS1895/7. Beyond couplings, Voss builds bulge-formed ducting components from high-temperature superalloys, roll-formed rings from 2 inches to 12 feet in diameter (a capability it has run since the early 1960s), hold-down straps, deep-drawn and stamped parts on presses up to 325 tons, and precision heat shields for aircraft braking systems. It designs and maintains its tooling in-house and specializes in prototyping through short and medium production runs.

The original-equipment fluid-systems relevance sits in the stamped V-retainer line. The company documents typical non-aerospace uses of these couplings on diesel exhaust systems, turbochargers, air-brake diaphragm bodies, and pump bodies, the kind of clamping and sealing hardware that shows up across heavy-duty and commercial-vehicle applications. Parts are available to OEM, MIL/MS, and NSN/FSN ordnance specifications.

Ownership and history

Mechanical engineer William J. Voss founded the company in 1957 in Cleveland's Ohio City neighborhood, on W. 25th Street, and built it into a specialist in aerospace clamps and couplings. After Bill Voss died in a 1999 car accident, management and family heirs converted the firm to an employee stock ownership plan, which carried it through the 2000s as an employee-owned manufacturer. By 2014 the company reported roughly 325 employees, up from about 180 a decade earlier.

Ownership has changed hands three times since. In September 2014, Voss was acquired by Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, LLC (CAM), a portfolio company of Tinicum Incorporated. In February 2020, Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) acquired CAM for roughly $1.46 billion. Then, in a deal announced in December 2025 and completed on April 6, 2026, Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM) acquired CAM from Stanley Black & Decker for approximately $1.8 billion. Voss now operates inside Howmet Aerospace's fastening and fluid-connection portfolio; its former standalone website redirects to Howmet. The company added a Berea, Ohio plant in 2019 to expand capacity beyond the historic Ohio City site.

Certifications and quality

Voss reports AS9100D certification, the aerospace quality-management standard, along with NADCAP special-process accreditations for welding, chemical processing, non-destructive testing, measurement and inspection, and fluid distribution systems. It also states compliance with the FAA's 14 CFR Part 21. Earlier CAM-era materials cited ISO 9001 and AS9100C, consistent with a supplier that has kept its quality system in the current cycle across ownership changes. As with any supplier, these are the company's own published claims. The depth of NADCAP coverage, five distinct process accreditations, is the profile expected of a fluid-connection manufacturer serving flight-critical bleed-air and ducting systems.

Known customers

Voss's specific program cells are largely unnamed, as is normal for a clamp and coupling supplier working across many aircraft platforms. One relationship is on the public record through the company's own statements.

Beyond those named relationships, the company describes its clamps and couplings shipping onto commercial and military aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. Absence of a named program is not evidence of absence; it reflects how airframe and engine hardware suppliers report their customer base.

Sourcing evidence

Voss has a minimal US import footprint: 17 sea shipments on record, with the most recent in January 2020. That is consistent with a domestic aerospace fabricator that machines and forms parts from domestic mill stock and standard alloys rather than importing finished goods, so its supply base does not surface in ocean bill-of-lading records the way an importer's would.

Because the customs record is this thin and dated, it is not used here as an activity signal. These are US ocean-freight records only; air, truck, and rail movements do not appear, product categories come from noisy declared manifest codes, and a small shipment count says little about a company that sources domestically. The stability read on Voss rests instead on its 69-year operating history, its aerospace quality accreditations, and its ownership by an investment-grade, NYSE-listed parent.

Frequently asked questions

What does Voss Industries make?

Voss Industries manufactures high-performance band clamps, V-band and V-retainer couplings, flanges, metallic seals, bulge-formed ducting, roll-formed rings, heat shields, and fabricated subassemblies. Its work is primarily aerospace, covering bleed-air, environmental control, and jet-engine ducting, while its stamped V-retainer couplings also serve commercial-vehicle and industrial fluid systems such as diesel exhaust and turbochargers.

Who owns Voss Industries?

Voss Industries is owned by Howmet Aerospace (NYSE: HWM). Howmet completed its roughly $1.8 billion acquisition of Voss's parent group, Consolidated Aerospace Manufacturing, from Stanley Black & Decker on April 6, 2026. Voss was founded by William J. Voss in 1957, was employee-owned after his death in 1999, and was acquired by CAM in 2014.

Where is Voss Industries located?

Voss Industries is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, in the Ohio City neighborhood on W. 25th Street. The company also operates a plant in Berea, Ohio, added in 2019.

What certifications does Voss Industries hold?

Voss Industries reports AS9100D aerospace quality certification, FAA 14 CFR Part 21 compliance, and NADCAP accreditations for welding, chemical processing, non-destructive testing, measurement and inspection, and fluid distribution systems.

Who are Voss Industries' customers?

Most of Voss's customers are unnamed, but the company has publicly described itself as a leading supplier to both Boeing and Airbus, with clamps and couplings on commercial and military aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft. It supplies parts to OEM, MIL/MS, and NSN/FSN ordnance specifications.

How big is Voss Industries?

Voss Industries employs an estimated 200 to 500 people; 2014 reporting cited about 325. It does not publish audited standalone revenue, and broker estimates put annual sales near $28 million. As a business unit within Howmet Aerospace it no longer reports separate financials.
