About Us | Brinkman Defense | DOD Contracting & Development

A Legacy of Precision in U.S. Defense Manufacturing

Specializing in Industrial and Defense Contracting, Subcontracting, Project Development, Prototyping and Production

ITAR-registered contractor specializing in the CNC machining of mission-critical components for the aerospace and defense industries. Based in Rochester, New York , we have been deeply rooted in the machining industry since 1894. Brinkman Industrial & Defense joins Brinkman Precision, Inc., Gates Albert, Inc., Davenport Machine, and CJ Winter as the newest subsidiary of the Brinkman International Group.

Brinkman International Group has been involved with defense-related manufacturing since 1919, when the Davenport multi-spindle screw machine was first used to produce munitions and artillery parts for the American military.

Our History: Serving the American Military Since 1919

In 2017, Brinkman International Group formalized Brinkman Industrial & Defense to specialize in manufacturing precision parts for the industrial and defense industries. However, our ability to manufacture is not our single greatest asset. Because of the importance of our focus, we have had the opportunity to select some of the best engineers, operators, deburring technicians, and quality control technicians from within the Brinkman International Group and beyond. Brinkman Industrial & Defense operates as a small business with the resources and support of an established corporation. This unique combination of talents, assets, and financial security allows us to take on complex contracts that other companies cannot.
