Precision is our strategy. Quality is our heritage.

Tamshell began in 1980, when John Hernandez and Art Pierce opened up a machine shop in South Los Angeles County, California. Their passion for machining opened up big possibilities for their success which has culminated in what Tamshell has become today.

Over the decades, Tamshell has continued to grow and expand our operations. We’ve built trusted partnerships with companies from Aerospace & Defense to Oil & Gas sectors.

We have recently moved in to a new facility, expanding our shop floor by over 13,000 sq. ft., leaving us room for continued exponential growth.
