About Orion Industries
Orion was founded in 1957 by a group of parents whose vision was to provide vocational training to their children as they transitioned out of high school special education classes. Their goal was to create an organization capable of sustaining itself on production revenues rather than on government grants, while preparing people with disabilities for competitive employment. Over the years, the company endeavored with a variety of business enterprises and eventually transitioned into metal fabrication, developed a machine shop in the South Seattle neighborhood of Georgetown, and developed a relationship with the Boeing Company as part of Boeing's Community Manufacturing Partnership. Since that time, Orion has built a state of the art aerospace manufacturing enterprise and supplies precision machined parts and subassemblies from its headquarters in Auburn, WA, to aerospace customers throughout the world.
