Aero-Mach Labs, Inc.

What Aero-Mach Labs, Inc. does

Aero-Mach Labs, Inc. is a family-owned aerospace company founded in 1971 and headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, operating through three consolidated divisions: Aero-Mach Labs (FAA Part 145 certified repair station providing aircraft instrument MRO and contract manufacturing), Aero-Mach Wilco (aviation parts distribution with a 25,000 sq. ft. warehouse), and Aero-Mach TCO (precision manufacturing of MIL-D-9129D/E qualified electrostatic dischargers). The company holds dual FAA/EASA release certification (Repair Station NU2R044L) and an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, supporting regulatory compliance for instruments, fuel system components, and static wick products across both general aviation and OEM/military platforms.

The business model combines professional services (instrument repair, overhaul, and exchange with 12-month overhaul warranties), contract manufacturing for legacy OEM programs (sustaining engineering, obsolescence management, DO-160/DO-178 testing), hardware sales through Wilco's e-commerce storefront (Concorde batteries, Whelen lighting, Omega brakes), and TCO's static discharger distribution. Go-to-market is bifurcated: enterprise field sales target OEMs (Textron Aviation, Boeing, Eclipse Aerospace, Air Tractor, DLA) and MROs, while Wilco's wilcoaircraftparts.com storefront serves aircraft owners, flight schools, and small MROs with same-day shipping. Pricing is quote-based for repair/overhaul services with a transaction-based exchange pool covering 200+ part numbers.

Customer segments include MRO facilities, OEMs (notably a 50+ year Textron Aviation partnership), aircraft owners/operators, flight schools, and defense/military programs. The company reports 50+ technicians, 370+ years of combined employee tenure, a 98%+ on-time delivery rate for Textron Aviation, and zero critical rejects — evidenced by the 2025 STARS Supplier Performance Award and 2025 SBA Great Plains Region Small Business Subcontractor of the Year. Revenue is not disclosed, and the company is closely held with no institutional investors identified.
