"Our mission is to exceed our stakeholders' expectations"

Organizational Overview
KARLEE is a contract manufacturer of precision sheet metal and machined components for the telecommunications, semiconductor, defense, aerospace, commercial goods and medical equipment industries. Since incorporation in 1977 as a producer of machined parts, our commitment to exceeding customer expectations and building quality into the product has differentiated us from competitors. During the early 1980's we expanded the business to include sheet metal fabrication. In response to our customers' needs, we added electrical-mechanical assembly and finishing processes such as plating, painting and silk-screening.

KARLEE is a certified woman-owned company; our CEO and Chairman, Jo Ann Brumit, actively provides vision and business knowledge propelling us into global markets. Today KARLEE is a world-class manufacturer providing a full range of services to our customers.
