Aerospace GSE and tooling manufacturer for commercial and military engines
AGSE manufactures ground support equipment and specialized tooling for jet engines across OEMs including GE, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Boeing, and Airbus. The company is mid-cycle through an Epicor ERP implementation while running cross-functional kaizen and new-product-development initiatives — a hiring pattern (8 senior roles in 30 days across engineering, finance, and manufacturing) that signals scaling of both operational discipline and production capacity in a high-mix, low-volume business.
