Description: PKE Park Electrochemical December 30, 2025

Park Aerospace Corp. (formerly Park Electrochemical Corp.) designs, manufactures, and sells advanced composite solutions-including film adhesives, lightning-strike protection, and ablative materials-for primary and secondary structures across the jet, military, UAV, business-jet, general-aviation, and rotary-wing segments worldwide.

Beyond raw materials, the firm also offers low-volume tooling, composite parts, and complete assemblies, positioning itself as a niche supplier for high-performance, low-to-mid-volume aerospace programs in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Key industry drivers that could lift Park’s addressable market include the projected 5-6% CAGR in aerospace composites through 2030, rising defense spending (U.S. FY24 defense budget up ~3% YoY), and increasing demand for lightweight, fuel-efficient aircraft to meet tighter emissions regulations.

Recent company metrics (FY 2024) show revenue of $215 million, an operating margin of ~12%, and a backlog of roughly $120 million, indicating modest scale but healthy order flow relative to its niche focus.
