John Meisenbach purchased Arden Engineering in February 1979. At that time Arden had 10 team members in a 4,500 square foot facility.

Realizing that growth was essential in October of 1979, Arden moved into a 13,000 square foot facility and began to evolve into a CNC Manufacturing Facility. By 1985, after adding more customers, equipment and management structure, John constructed a new 32,000 square foot facility located in a Qualified HUBZONE (Tract #06059076204).

Building on Arden Engineering's growing reputation in the Aerospace Industry, major capital equipment investments were made to support customers worldwide. This includes the construction of a second facility and the addition of High-Speed Gantries.

Currently Arden supports 22 customers in 30 locations throughout the world with a diversified team of skilled employees. Our facilities total over 177,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space, in Orange County, California. Arden Engineering specializes in: on-site engineering; programming; 5-axis CNC machining and assembly of structural aerospace components with diversification in Commercial; Military; Regional Jet Aircraft; Helicopter; and Space Vehicles. Our product base is split at 50% commercial and 50% military aircraft.

Arden Engineering has supported our customers for over 29 years with quality, delivery, and cost, commensurate with a world-class supplier.
