| AERO-ZONE: YOUR AIRCRAFT
PARTS INVENTORY SPECIALIST |

customer service and quality control.

| Aero-Zone Headquarters in
Mesa, Arizona |
|
|
Aero-Zone was founded in 1994 by a small team of dedicated
industry professionals with a small office in Chandler,
Arizona. From the beginning our honest, relationship-based
way of doing business has set us apart from our peers in
the industry. By making sound business decisions, and resisting
the urge to rely on excessive financing, Aero-Zone has
grown at a trend-setting pace.
In January of 1998, as a result of our growth, Aero-Zone moved from our first office and warehouse to a 6,000 square
foot facility nearby. We again saw several years of tremendous
growth, despite significant adversity in the industry.
In March of 2004, Aero-Zone moved into a 30,000 square
foot Headquarters and Inventory Control Center designed
to meet both the current needs of the company, and to allow
for years of future expansion. Our new facility reflects
the foresight and planning that go into every step of the
Aero-Zone process.

| Two stories of inventory for convenience,
and efficient use of every inch of our Inventory Control
Center. Our larger, more efficient Shipping & Receiving
Department |
Success in the aviation industry comes down to two prevailing
factors: Safety and Efficiency. Aero-Zone's new headquarters
and inventory control facilities have been designed from
the ground up with these factors in mind. In March of 2004,
Aero-Zone purchased a 30,000 square foot building in Mesa,
Arizona to house our corporate offices, quality control
and sales offices, and our Inventory Control Center. Our
new center features over four times our previous capacity,
including areas for larger inventory items, and an improved
avionics facility. Our shipping and receiving departments
have been completely redesigned to allow for greater efficiency
and easier handling of inventory items large and small.
From the moment we first began our move, safety and security
has been a top priority. Our inventory is protected 24
hours a day by a brand new custom fire-suppression system,
security and fire alarms, and a secure, gated compound.
In addition to our headquarters, Aero-Zone has strategically
distributed inventory at various locations across the nation.
Aero-Zone operates a secure, climate controlled inventory control facility
in Mesa, Arizona. Our facilities consistently receive high ratings from
various auditing and quality control organizations’ that we ask to evaluate
our progress. These certifications are proof of the emphasis that we put on
safety and quality in our inventory control systems.

Aero-Zone Goes Green |
Mesa,
Ariz., Thursday, Jan 01 2009:
Aero-Zone is proud to announce the launch of "Aero-Zone
Goes Green", a commitment to, and investment in, environmental
responsibility and conservation.
Through bold energy-saving initiatives and significant investment
in environmentally friendly infrastructure improvements,
the first phase of "Aero-Zone Goes Green" will
drastically reduce the company’s carbon footprint;
by over 40 tons in its first year. "The cornerstone
of the ’Aero-Zone Goes Green’ campaign is an
83,000 kilowatt-hour solar electric system valued at almost
half a million dollars." said Alfredo Dreyfus, Jr.,
President of Aero-Zone. "I recently had a similar system
installed at my home, and was so thrilled with the results
that I immediately began discussions to install a larger
system here at our headquarters. Let’s face it, in
a state with three hundred days of sunshine each year, solar
is a logical choice!" Dreyfus added. The solar generation
system - installed by American
Solar Electric - consists of 234 state-of-the-art Kyocera
photovoltaic modules, capable of meeting all Aero-Zone’s
energy needs during all but the hottest months of summer.
In addition to the solar system, improvements to the company’s
Mesa, Arizona headquarters have significantly reduced energy
demands. Over the past twelve months, the company has replaced
two air conditioning and climate control units with systems
that are exponentially more efficient. The physical structure
of Aero-Zone’s headquarters has also been upgraded,
through the installation of low-E glass, sun screens, and
a more energy-efficient thermal roof coating to combat
the harsh heat of an Arizona summer. In the same period,
every computer and several of the company’s high-speed
servers have been replaced with newer, more efficient units
that use less power. Dozens of monitors have been replaced
with EnergyStar rated LCD monitors. In addition, Aero-Zone
has installed hardware and software solutions to reduce
overall power consumption by ensuring only essential systems
remain online after hours and on weekends.
As the year progresses, Aero-Zone intends to announce further
details of "Aero-Zone Goes Green", and of the
company’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

DropShipments™: An Aero-Zone
exclusive |
Discreet
DropShipments is an innovative program that represents
Aero-Zone's commitment to providing industry-leading
service not only to our customers, but to our friends
and partners in the industry. This program allows parts
brokers to ship directly from Aero-Zone to the end-user
under their own name, not that of Aero-Zone. Parts are
shipped without the Aero-Zone logo, in generic packaging
and with packing slips reflecting the name of the broker.
All Discreet DropShipping orders are shipped with generic
paperwork, and with sensitive details - such as purchase
order numbers and prices - withheld. By request, we can
even insert your own invoices and packing slips!
Discreet DropShipments is a direct response to feedback
we have recently solicited from our customers. Feedback
that included concern that companies were taking advantage
of drop-shipments by inserting their own sales literature
and invoices with orders. Aero-Zone's goal is to continue
earning the respect of every client by combining honesty
and integrity with innovative, one-of-a-kind programs
such as Discreet DropShipments. It's your sale, put your
name on it!
Discreet DropShipments is offered at no cost to our valued
customers, so ask for it on your next order!

Alfredo
Dreyfus Jr. Founder, President |
We decided early on that our specialty would only
be limited by the demand of our customers. We soon
started developing niches and product lines where we
could hone in our talents, and become true experts.
By having actual product lines, we afforded our customers
certain luxuries, such as 'back-up' solutions when
parts are lost or damaged in shipment by having a secondary
unit on our shelf, ready to go, in most cases. We currently
have 40+ active product lines and over a dozen partnerships
with repair stations (including two OEM's) allowing
us to compete in both quality and cost, and making
Aero-Zone one of the premier 'up-and-comers' in aviation's
rotable market.
But we didn't stop there. I thought it was important
that, in addition to quality and cost, our actual service
to our customers had to shatter what I considered to
be the industry norm. I soon implemented a quality
program, borrowing from the likes of Six Sigma and
other quality improvement techniques, where we actively
scrutinized every facet of our company. We've implemented
quality and budgetary control programs for our Repairs
Department, Inventory Control, Information Technology
and Marketing, to name a few. Our I.T. implementation
alone has allowed for quicker responses to RFQ's, fast
transmission of paperwork, and timely Airway Bill notification
for our customers
 I
learned early on that this industry is very large,
and has enough room for ALL good companies to prosper.
We are supportive of ALL other suppliers in our
field. We apply equal focus to doing business with
well-run and good paying suppliers, as we do our
end-users. This has allowed us to build a worldwide
customer base of 3k+ customers, and over 800 end-users.
Over the years, and as a result of our natural growth,
our mission has been defined and redefined. By remaining
innovative and creative, while flexible, we've established
a synergy as a team that is very unique and quite effective.
Although I do consider myself a hard-worker, we've
also been very fortunate along the way. I thank God
for our fortune; I thank all of our team members for
their loyalty and dedication. I would also like to
thank each and every one of our customers for their
continued support of Aero-Zone as we strive to be better,
one part at a time.
Sincerely,
|
