These technologically challenging composite and metal structures leverage Janicki’s expertise in engineering, fabrication, high-precision 5-axis milling and quality assurance, Janick said. The company added its highly skilled teams have been working on a rapid timeline to produce and deliver parts for the expanding Voyager program.
