Some notes about Beechhurst
I'll start by saying basically, what we do here: All hand labor using unique equipment. Products: cables, push-pull controls, electro-mechanical control devices. Company was started ~ 1947 in Queens, NYC to serve the 3 airports - simple cable assemblies, only. I purchased in 1987, incorporated in 1988.
In 1988, I obtained a list from SBA w/ everybody doing Gov. work - did a mass mailing - that got me the F-18 project. Started advertising to the commercial aviation industry - product line expanded rapidly to fill requests. In the 90's, we did a lot of work for companies trying to bring a new aircraft to market.
Listed on Parts Base - that works.


Presently located in industrial condo, in Virginia, which I own. About 1,700 square feet.
Sole source on many items. ~ 60% of billing is DOD related work.
Products: mechanical cable assemblies; push-pull controls. Currently dead market products: quadrants, landing gear selector switch.
What we make here is all (100%) hand labor - skilled - and the equipment is highly special - a lot of it cannot be replaced - that's why we are sole source for many products. Equipment can be seen at: www.beechhurst.com/Equipment.html


Location is not important - everything gets shipped. No patents - paper clip technology for most of what we ship. No license, except local business lic. so they can tax us.


Intellectual Property:
Cable assemblies: 4,379 part numbers documented. P-P controls: 435 part numbers documented.
Current inventory: $ 27,974 ($ 22,279 cost basis).


Aviation Market: In aviation, you have to be prepared to re-invent yourself every 5 years - or doomed to failure. For example: in 1987 there was about 50 firms using fast airplanes to fly canceled checks around the country. Today: 0 In the late 90's, we did a LOT of work for companies trying to bring a new aircraft to market and, that is the reason for the broad product line - eventually, they all failed. Today, most of what we ship are simple cable assemblies and push-pull controls. So, one has to be continually sniffing about for new market opportunities.


This would be perfect for somebody that already has a facility. Hire a part timer, and put about $50,000 a year in your pocket. Willing to train. Requires talented hands; again, it is all hand labor.

Financials: Sales,always under $250,000 a year - particulars: ask!
