OUR HISTORY
The Early Years
1971
A NEW ERA FOR THE TWIGG CORPORATION
After a distinguished career in the Detroit area automotive manufacturing industry, Roy Rapp Jr. decided to acquire the Twigg Corporation near Indianapolis. He had an ambition to produce precision exotic metal alloy components for the Midwest region's burgeoning aerospace industry.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CONTRACTS
Before the decade was over, Twigg Corporation, by maintaining the highest industry standards, had become an important supplier for the United States Department of Defense.

Technology had advanced and there was now a greater need for jet engine components that would provide maximum reliability in the most demanding situations and extreme conditions.
