What AES International Corporation does

AES International Corporation is a U.S. security systems integrator that designs, installs, and maintains physical and electronic security systems for U.S. government facilities. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, the company has operated for over 40 years serving the U.S. Department of State, the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO), the Department of Defense, U.S. embassies, and U.S. consulates at locations worldwide. Its service portfolio spans needs assessment, system design produced through an in-house CAD department, installation of low-voltage electronic systems, project management, testing and certification, and user training, delivered as turnkey engagements. A secondary commercial segment serves oil, financial, aerospace, utility, and military facility customers.

The company is a licensed low-voltage specialty contractor employing journeyman electricians and staff holding Top Secret (TS) clearance, enabling it to perform classified work at sensitive diplomatic and defense locations. Technical capabilities include UV-cure, fast epoxy, and unicurve fiber optic installation; classified local area network (C-LAN), voice, and CAT-6 cabling; and integration of access control systems ranging from basic card readers to biometrics and proximity badges. The firm is certified as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which provides eligibility for federal contracting set-asides.

AES generates revenue primarily through fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts awarded via competitive proposals to government agencies, with secondary commercial work. Pricing is project-based with multi-year contract structures, and the company serves as a prime contractor or subcontractor on installation projects globally. Distribution is exclusively through direct enterprise field sales, with no public pricing, revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed.
