Aero Precision/Kellstrom Defense partners with more than 35 original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and provides military aircraft aftermarket parts and distribution services, repair and overhaul capabilities, along with engineered product solutions.
Located at 508 Matrix Parkway in Greenville, Aero Precision/Kellstrom Defense's new facility will allow the company to increase capacity to meet growing demand.
