Defense Partnerships East/West Industries is a woman-owned small business with a proven track record supplying military aircraft programs (Bell 505, MV-75 Cheyenne II, Sikorsky platforms, CH-47 Chinook, CH-53K, HH-60W) and earned recognition from major defense primes like Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems, indicating strong potential for expanded military subcontracting opportunities and tier-one partnerships.

Recent Wins Recent customer acquisitions include Bell Textron for the MV-75 Cheyenne II troop and gunner seat program and new engagements with Bell Textron and DoW oxygen standardization groups, signaling momentum in integrated seating and safety systems that can be upsold with upgraded interiors, mission-critical components, and lifecycle support.

Strategic Awards Supplier Excellence recognition from Northrop Grumman and a Gold Tier Partner award from BAE Systems position East/West as a trusted defense supplier, suggesting opportunities for broader program participation, higher-tier contracts, and preferential bidding on defense framework agreements.

Technical Capabilities Aerospace engineering strength and a tech stack centered on SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk, and ERP/MIS tools support custom component manufacturing; leverage these capabilities to pursue complex, mission-critical parts, non-standard seating solutions, and certified assemblies for both military and commercial rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms.

Growth Signals Active participation in oxygen safety standardization efforts and hosting industry-working groups demonstrates thought leadership and a network-ready posture, presenting an opportunity to offer safety-critical systems, certification services, training, and long-term after-sales support to a growing ecosystem of DoW and DoD stakeholders.
