A Commitment to Quality

Aero Manufacturing is a 40-year-old, family-owned company specializing in the fabrication and machining of precision parts for the power generation and aerospace industries. The company had its beginnings in 1971 when Salvador and Mike Fonzo and three other partners started the business in Danvers, Mass., with 18 employees. In 1974 Sal and Mike bought out the partners with Mike taking over as CEO and Sal as president, running the shop.

Because of their background in metal forming and spinning aircraft parts the company was successful from the start, and in five years' time they had expanded into a 28,000ft2 plant with 75 employees. In 2000 the company relocated to a new 60,000ft2 building in Beverley, Mass., to which it recently added another 4,000 ft2.

Over the years Aero has worked with some of the world's leaders in aircraft engines and power generation, maintaining relationships that have lasted for more than 20 years, and in some cases 40 years. This is an acknowledgment of the quality and consistency of the company's work, and a testament to its customer-oriented business attitude, a company maxim that is not only spoken but also practiced. The company prides itself on setting up partnerships with customers to ensure that the highest-quality parts and assemblies are delivered on time.
