Defense and heavy-equipment manufacturer of track systems, armor, and mechanical assemblies
Loc Performance is a vertically integrated manufacturer serving military, agricultural, and construction OEMs with track systems, armor products, and fabricated structures across 1.75M sq ft of production capacity. The tech stack reflects a traditional manufacturing operation—Mastercam, PLCs, Teamcenter PDM, and Allen-Bradley controls—paired with defense-grade compliance tooling (IBM DOORS, Costpoint contract accounting). No active tech adoption or replacement signals a stable, production-focused engineering culture; hiring is concentrated in machining and manufacturing roles rather than software, consistent with a capital-intensive, specification-driven business.
Loc Performance manufactures track systems, mechanical assemblies, armor products, and fabricated structures for military platforms, agricultural equipment, and heavy construction. Headquartered in Plymouth, MI, the company operates five facilities across Michigan and Ohio totaling over 1.75M sq ft. With 980+ employees, the organization is organized around engineering, manufacturing, production, logistics, and quality functions. Active projects span design-for-manufacturability, APQP compliance, machining development, cost-reduction programs, and DoD contract workflows. Pain points center on supply-chain efficiency, inventory optimization, proposal pricing competitiveness, and defense-contract compliance.
Plex for ERP, Teamcenter for product lifecycle management, Mastercam for CNC programming, Costpoint for defense contract accounting, and IBM DOORS for requirements traceability.
