About Us
In the Beginning there was dark…then Light…then the light was shut off again
In the 60s, 70s and early 80s American manufacturing in Seattle was a powerful entity dominating the supply chain with no competition hands down. When the Boeing layoffs began many of the former machinist formed their own small businesses to continue to feed their families rather than wait around to be rehired. One of those former employees was Thomas Earl a precision airframe fabricator who went on to start T&S Welding in 1983. He owned and operated this business servicing multiple contracts for the aerospace industry up until his passing in 2017. Between 2018 to 2024 T&S Welding continued performing many light fabrications however by this time the company began to move away from fabrication and deeper into fastener distribution.
In early 2025 the decision was made to convert the one-time manufacturing company T&S welding into Thomas E LLC in memory of Thomas Earl moving the company status to aerospace parts distribution.
