Explore ERP & AIFounded in 1956 by Michael Tabet in Norfolk, Virginia, Tabet Manufacturing Co. began as a precision machine shop serving local shipyards and industrial customers. Over seven decades, the company has grown into a comprehensive contract manufacturing operation while maintaining the craftsmanship and accountability of its founding principles.
Today, Tabet operates a modern, vertically integrated facility in Norfolk — combining CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, welding, finishing, and complex assembly under one roof. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and ITAR registration, supporting customers from initial design through production delivery.
Tabet's customer base spans U.S. Navy programs, Army ground vehicle programs, defense prime contractors, and industrial OEMs across the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The company's combination of capability breadth, quality systems, and responsiveness makes it a preferred single-source partner for complex manufacturing programs.
“To deliver precision manufactured products that meet or exceed our customers' requirements — no exceptions or compromises — through continuous investment in people, equipment, and quality systems.”
“To build an enduring legacy as the premier precision manufacturer of choice for the nation's most demanding defense and industrial applications — growing through the strength of our people, the reliability of our work, and the trust of those we serve.”
Our campus consists of two primary buildings:
Multi-shift staffing — Strategic logistics access — Scalable production capacity
Tabet Manufacturing supports mission-critical industries requiring the highest standards of precision, compliance, and reliability.
Supporting the U.S. Navy, Army, Marines, and Coast Guard. Components and assemblies for shipbuilding, vehicle systems, and communication platforms.
Pumps, compressors, heavy equipment, and vehicle components. Supplementing customer capacity with reliable, scalable contract manufacturing.
Manufacturing solutions supporting water treatment and infrastructure systems — precision components for purification and distribution equipment.
Enclosures, racks, cable assemblies, and integrated systems for data center and electronic applications. Built to IPC standards with full material traceability.
Quality is embedded throughout every stage of Tabet's operations. The company operates under an ISO 9001:2015-certified Quality Management System, ensuring consistency, traceability, and continuous improvement across all manufacturing processes.
Full traceability from raw material to finished product. Every component documented and traceable through our BOM-driven processes.
Rigorous change management processes ensure product integrity is maintained across revisions and production runs.
Quality checks at every stage of production — not just at the end. Issues are caught and corrected before they impact delivery.
Approved supplier lists with ongoing audit programs ensure that incoming materials and components meet our exacting standards.
A stable, multi-generation employer with the kind of work — Navy, defense, aerospace — that actually goes somewhere when it leaves your hands.
50+ years of continuous operation. Long-term defense contracts. Norfolk expansion ongoing. We hire to keep, not to flex.
Parts on Navy ships. Hardware on defense systems. Components in aerospace assemblies. The work leaves the floor and goes to work.
Competitive hourly rates, medical, dental, paid time off, retirement plan, and shift differentials. Confirm specifics with HR.
