About Airtronics – Tucson Machine Shop Manufacturing & Engineering Services
Established in 1975, Airtronics Inc. is a Government Contractor, currently maintaining hundreds of prime contracts for various agencies of the US Department of Defense including the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Defense Logistics Agency and Navy. For the past 20 years, Airtronics Inc. has worked closely with the Air Force and Department of Defense to develop repair capability on items historically considered non-repairable. In doing so, over thirteen million dollars worth of assets have now been established to be repairable, greatly reducing MICAP and long lead time situations.
Airtronics Inc. holds an unlimited Accessory and Instrument FAA Rating given by the Department of Transportation. In the past few years, Airtronics has continued to expand its international business working with countries like Saudi Arabia, Italy, Greece, Australia and New Zealand.
