Summary

County economic development staff presented a business-spotlight video for Wilsonville’s Allied Technologies International, a 2024 grant recipient. CEO Thomas Isaac said a $50,000 capital grant funded a unique CNC machine that broadened the company’s aerospace and orthopedic implant production.

Clackamas County commissioners viewed a business-spotlight video and heard from Allied Technologies International (ATI), a Wilsonville precision manufacturer that received a $50,000 county business development grant in 2024.

Laura Edmonds, manager of the Office of Economic Development, described the video series and noted the grant supported capital equipment purchases enabling ATI to add manufacturing capabilities. Thomas Isaac, ATI’s chief executive, told commissioners the company moved to Clackamas County from Tualatin and “has been in business for just over 30 years.” He said the new CNC machine can handle parts up to about 38 millimeters (just over 1.5 inches) in outer diameter with tolerances in the range of 5 to 7 microns — measurements suitable for aerospace components and orthopedic implants.

Isaac said the company uses materials such as titanium and medical‑grade stainless steels for implants, and nickel alloys such as Inconel for avionics and satellite components. He described the grant process as positive and said the added capability allows ATI to pursue more complex orthopedic implant work and compete on the U.S. West Coast.

Commissioners asked technical questions about part size, tolerances and materials; ATI representatives confirmed the firm is a member of regional aerospace clusters (PNDC and PNAA) and said the grant aided a capital investment that expanded their capabilities.

Why it matters: small manufacturing and traded‑sector firms receiving county support point to local economic development priorities and supply‑chain strengths in aerospace and medical manufacturing in the region.
