About

For over 30 years, D-J Engineering has established itself as a strategic asset in the aerospace sector by taking on the difficult projects many companies refuse. With a team of over 300 professionals across three campuses, the company combines deep expertise with a can-do culture to deliver large assemblies and complex aerospace parts. Their approach is to control all aspects of a project in-house, from engineering and design to manufacturing, inspection, and certified repairs. This vertical integration enhances technical and schedule performance. As stated by President and CEO Rezaul Chowdhury, “If we need a new capability, we ACQUIRE it. When we need a new process, we DEVELOP it. If it doesn’t exist, we INVENT it.” This philosophy drives their commitment to developing new manufacturing processes, particularly for low production runs, positioning D-J Engineering as a key manufacturer and MRO for complex components and assemblies in the aerospace industry.
