From ECi Solutions Pty Ltd

When Mark Weathers purchased Excaliber Precision Machining in July 2001, the 16-year-old business manufactured aerospace parts for the defense and commercial airline industries. Two months later, the company faced the biggest challenge in its history: the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which put a significant strain on the airline industry, as well as Excaliber.

Since those challenging early days, Excaliber has grown from less than $1 million in annual revenue to 3.5 million projected in 2007, and from 12 employees to 32. Excaliber expanded to these levels through a combination of strategic decision-making, hard work and the right technology.

In light of the post-9/11 business climate, the company chose to focus more on building its base of defense industry clients and parts for applications such as Apache helicopters, fighter jets and weaponry.
