Business Description
We are an aerospace and defense company. We manufacture and design structural
parts and assemblies that focus on flight safety, including landing gear, arresting
gear, engine mounts, flight controls, throttle quadrants, jet engines and other
components. We also provide sheet metal fabrication of aerostructures, tube
bending and welding services. Our products are currently deployed on a wide
range of high profile military and commercial aircraft including Sikorskys
UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, Lockheed Martins F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter, Northrop Grummans E2 Hawkeye, Boeings 777, Airbus 380 commercial
airliners and the US Navy F-18 and USAF F-16 fighter aircraft. Our Turbine Engine
sector makes components for jet engines that are used on the USAF F-15, the
Airbus A-330 and A-380, and the Boeing 777, in addition to a number of ground
turbine applications.
AIM has manufactured components and subassemblies for the defense and commercial
aerospace industry for over 45 years and has established long term relationships
with leading defense and aerospace manufacturers.
We currently divide our operations into three operating segments: Complex Machining,
which consists of AIM and NTW; Aerostructures and Electronics, which consists
of WMI, WPI, MSI, Eur-Pac and ECC; and beginning in 2014, Turbine Engine Components,
which includes AMK and beginning March 2015, will include Sterling. As our businesses
continue to develop and evolve, and we acquire additional companies, we may
deem it appropriate to reallocate our companies into different operating segments
and, once we achieve sufficient integration among our businesses, report as
a unified company.
We operate in both the military and, to a lesser degree, commercial aviation
industries. Defense revenues represent a preponderance of our sales. Our principal
customers include Sikorsky Aircraft, Goodrich Landing Gear Systems, Northrup
Grumman, the United States Department of Defense, GKN Aerospace, Lockheed, Boeing,
Raytheon, Piper Aircraft, M7 Aerospace, Vought Aerospace, Ametek/Hughes-Treitler
and Airbus.
