Barron Industries proves itself ‘essential,’ grows in Oxford
A fixture on the northern edge of Oxford for nearly four decades, Barron Industries is no stranger to success. Manufacturing high-precision investment castings and machined components, the company offers their services to businesses in the aerospace and defense fields, as well as the automotive, oil, and medical industries.
Steadily increasing their focus on the aerospace and defense side since the business has grown, Barron has earned accreditation from the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) in multiple areas of their business, including Computed Radiography (CR), Digital Radiography (DR), and penetrant testing.
On June 9, the company added welding to their list of NADCAP-certified services.
“We’ve been up here (in Oxford) for 36 years now, manufacturing castings for a lot of different industries,” President and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Barron explained.
“It was largely automotive at first but transferred more toward defense starting in the mid-1990s. Over the last five years, we’ve been transitioning into more aerospace work, commercial and defense aerospace, parts that fly, because it was a growing market with a lot of projected business in the next twenty years.”
