Boeing is the 800-pound gorilla of US aerospace. The world's largest aerospace company, Boeing is the #2 maker of large commercial jets (behind rival Airbus) and the #2 defense contractor behind Lockheed Martin. Boeing has two major segments: Commercial Airplanes and Integrated Defense Systems. Through its Boeing Capital subsidiary, the company provides financing and leasing services to both commercial and military/aerospace customers. Boeing makes about two-thirds of its sales in the Americas. As the worldwide recession continues, the company will adjust to decreased demand for new commercial airliners, and its military programs may come under more scrutiny from the Obama administration and from Congress.

Deep industry knowledge and seven decades of experience are a lot to be proud of. Not that we’re boasting. It’s just that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to acquire a complete understanding of one of the most highly competitive sectors of the aviation industry. After all, there’s a healthy dose of persistence needed to constantly find new and more innovative ways of working on the ground to keep our customers in the air. Our company was founded in 1937 as the in-house maintenance division of Air Canada, operating as Air Canada Technical Services (ACTS). In 1968, we began providing airframe, engine and component solutions to non-Air Canada customers, helping us expand our MRO reach among new carriers. In 2007, we reached an agreement to acquire 80% of Aeroman, the MRO affiliate of Taca Airlines, one of Central America's largest airlines. On October 16, 2007, ACTS became an independent company when premier investment firms Sageview Capital and KKR Private Equity Investors acquired a 70% stake in our organization, providing us with strong support and expertise to contribute to our long-term success. On September 23, 2008, we formally adopted Aveos as our new name, signifying the latest step in our evolution. Today, we’re the leading independent, nose-to-tail MRO provider in the Americas. With our affiliate Aeroman, Latin America’s top MRO provider, and strategic partners such as General Electric, CFM International, Hamilton Sundstrand, Honeywell and Aero Inventory, we offer a comprehensive range of customizable services across five MRO facilities.
