What Aerox does
Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems is a privately held U.S. aerospace manufacturer specializing in aviation oxygen solutions, founded in 1981 and headquartered in Bonita Springs, Florida. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes portable oxygen systems, installed oxygen systems, TSO-certified oxygen masks, FAA PMA-approved Kevlar and steel oxygen cylinders, regulators, cannulas, and related accessories under the Aerox, Sky-Ox, and Aerox Fluid Power brands. Aerox also operates FAA and EASA certified MRO services through its wholly-owned subsidiary Omnigas Systems, providing hydrostatic testing, overhaul, and EASA dual release tag capability for oxygen and fire suppression systems. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and AS-9100D quality certifications and supplies MIL-SPEC components through its Aerox Fluid Power division.
The company serves a diverse customer base spanning aircraft and helicopter OEMs, major commercial airlines, aircraft parts distributors, MRO facilities, EMS operators, general aviation owner-operators, and military users. Aerox employs a dual go-to-market model combining a direct-to-consumer BigCommerce e-commerce storefront with B2B enterprise sales to OEMs and large operators, supplemented by a parts distributor network. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (with publicly disclosed unit prices ranging from $19.99 for connectors up to $4,250 for premium Quick Donning Diluter Demand Masks), professional MRO services via Omnigas, and contract manufacturing under Aerox Fluid Power.
The product portfolio is anchored by the Sky-Ox portable oxygen brand featuring the proprietary Click-a-Breath regulator and Oxysaver conserving cannulas, which deliver approximately four times the oxygen duration of standard systems. Recent strategic activity includes the acquisition of Omnigas Systems (facilitated by investment bank Alderman & Company) to expand MRO capabilities and the launch of the Boomula headset-mounted conserving cannula for integrated pilot oxygen and communications use. The company holds registered trademarks for Aerox, Sky-Ox, Omnigas Systems, and Aerox Fluid Power, and was named a Top Pick by Aviation Consumer magazine in their Portable Oxygen Systems survey.
