Leatherwood Manufacturing Inc.

Leatherwood Manufacturing Inc. is a metal fabricator in Charleston, SC. The company performs CNC machining, metal fabrication, welding, and electro-mechanical assembly, serving defense and aerospace customers. The company is registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and holds and handles ITAR-controlled drawings, technical data, and material. It holds a rating of 5.00 based on 1 review. Leatherwood Manufacturing is family-run and veteran-owned. Mike Leatherwood served in the United States Air Force before founding the company in 1986, and the signature in the company logo is his own hand. Machining, forming, welding, assembly, and inspection all take place in one 42,600 square foot facility, and core work is not subcontracted. Raw stock comes in and finished, inspected parts go out, with one team accountable for everything in between. The company handles work ranging from a single tight-tolerance component to a production run of assemblies, and customers have reordered tooling and parts by number for decades. A person who knows the work reads each drawing, states whether the job is a fit, and turns a preliminary response in one business day. The shop sits on Dorchester Rd. Vocational Rehabilitation North Charleston is about 78 metres away, and CARTA, Varnadore Park, the Charleston County Sheriff's Office Detention Center, and North Charleston Fire Department Station 7 are each roughly 0.3 miles from the address. Leatherwood Manufacturing has earned a 5.00 rating from the customer who has reviewed it, and it has made parts at the same address for four decades, with machinists, welders, and inspectors who have measured their time there in decades.
