About AeroPartners Incorporated

AeroPartners Incorporated was founded in 1992 as Tomen Aerospace Corporation, a subsidiary of what was then Tomen Corporation, by separating off part of its spacecraft division. Subsequently, in 2002, Tomen Aerospace became independent through a management buyout from what was then Tomen Corporation. Based on its wealth of experience and expertise in selling aircraft such as Learjet planes and helicopters and aircraft components that the company had developed since it was part of Tomen Corporation, AeroPartners Incorporated now supplies, maintains, and repairs aircraft components, engine parts, electronics, and other aircraft products, serving the Ministry of Defense as its major customer.
