History

RTC Fife was started over 35 years ago with a single machine working out of the founder's garage. In 1986, with just 5 employees the company began manufacturing parts for Boeing. In 1989, the company incorporated in Washing State as RTC Fife Machine, Inc.

In 1995, the company built and moved into a 25,000 square foot facility in Fife Washington. RTC Fife continued to grow as the aerospace community became increasingly aware of RTC Fife's abilities to manufacture aerospace parts to the most exacting specifications.

In 2007, Boeing awarded RTC Fife with Supplier of the Year for purchased outside production. RTC Fife is committed to offering this same award winning service to all of our customers.

In the fall of 2010, RTC Fife moved into a 57,000 square foot facility. This new facility is the next step in the growth of RTC Fife with space to more than double our production abilities.
