Aero Components International Corp.

What Aero Components International Corp. does

Aero Components International Corp. operates as AMETEK MRO, a division of AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME), a publicly traded industrial technology company with approximately $7.5 billion in annual sales. AMETEK MRO is a global provider of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for commercial, regional, military, and general aviation aircraft components, supporting more than 40,000 unique component capabilities across 12 strategically placed locations worldwide and approximately 800 employees. The service portfolio spans component management, engineering design and development, OEM manufacture, Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), and repair and overhaul, organized through nine specialized business units: AEM, Aeromedic, Ameron, AMETEK Singapore, Antavia, Avtech Avionics and Instruments, B&S Aircraft, Drake Air, Muirhead Avionics, and Southern Aeroparts.

The company's core technology centers on aerospace thermal management, avionics, fuel systems, landing gear, hydraulics, pneumatics, power generation, safety, medical, wheels, and brakes. Drake Air serves as the AS9100/9110-certified Heat Transfer Center of Excellence, with in-house fabrication and manufacturing capabilities for aluminum and high temperature alloys. The proprietary Nu-Matrix FAA Approved DER (Designated Engineering Representative) core replacement process provides operators with cost-effective alternatives that restore thermal components to like-new performance, forming a key differentiator from OEM service centers. Capabilities cover heat exchangers, precoolers, oil coolers, and fuel heaters across commercial, regional, military, general aviation, and rotorcraft platforms.

The revenue model is professional services plus hardware sales, with quote-based pricing typical of industrial MRO engagements. AMETEK MRO generates revenue through repair and overhaul services (professional services), new build and design programs (hardware sales), and PMA parts (hardware sales). Distribution is direct enterprise sales to airlines, military operators, and business aviation customers through regional facilities, complemented by an online capability search portal and PMA search tool. Marketing channels include LinkedIn, YouTube, a corporate website, and industry press releases. The company is led operationally by executives including Lance Golwas (Division Vice President and Business Manager, AMETEK MRO Midwest) and Phil Bashaw (Vice President of Sales, AMETEK MRO Drake Air). Recent activity includes an April 2026 expansion of Drake Air's thermal capabilities to support the Airbus A220 platform, with Nu-Matrix DER core replacement expected to be available in Q2 2026, and Drake Air's sixth consecutive Top Shop Award for Best Heat Transfer Repair.
