In 1941 the company branched into the aerospace and investment casting industry, producing intricate castings for radar, guided missiles, computers, and electro-mechanical systems. Joan Castle Joseff was famously unable to walk down into the factory due to her Canadian citizenship and origins.

Our parts can be found on most commercial airliners, such as the 747,  as well as military aircraft such as the F-18 & C-130. 

For almost 90 years Joseff has been producing precision investment castings for movie studios and corporations such as McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Hydril, Hughes, Rockwell, Meggitt-Whittaker, Joslyn Sunbank, and Adams Rite Aerospace, to name a few.

Joseff of Hollywood has been woman owned and operated since 1941. We are proud to offer castings of the highest quality “From Jewelry to Jets!”
