Our Mission
We strive to design, manufacture and deliver world class vacuum formed and composite products for the aviation, transport, defence and commercial markets. Utilising our engineering expertise we endeavor to create value for our customers by catering for their individual needs.
Our Vision
We wish to be a world-renowned design and manufacturing firm known not only for our outstanding quality of work but also for our integrity in empowering our employees and the greater community in which we operate.
- DESIGN
Aero Services has a rich history in taking the bespoke needs/ideas of our customers and developing practical solutions for them. We have designed components and systems for a wide range of industries and various operating conditions.
We pride ourselves in taking a pragmatic, manufacturing orientated, attitude to design. Our design approach also keeps in mind the tough operating and economic environments faced in Africa.
Designers and engineers are encouraged to make use of our in-house processes as well as locally available raw materials and capabilities. All designs and drawings are developed using the latest SolidWorks design and analysis packages.

- ENGINEERING
Airborne Patient Care System.
We have both post graduate and graduate engineers on the team along with professional draftsmen and designers. We can provide stress analysis using our Finite Element Analysis (FEA) or Finite Element Modelling (FEM) software coupled with classical hand calculations to ensure your design will function as intended. Due the nature of the industries we operate in we are often called on to static test our units to ensure the integrity of our structures. We also design the static test procedure, build the test jig, conduct the actual test and produce the report in house.
- COMPOSITES & AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ORGANISATION
We have been creating structures from fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) since the early 1990’s.
- We employ aircraft certified composite technicians to ensure that all FRP. components are made to the highest quality.
- We have vast experience in highly spec’d components which use hand and vacuum assisted layup, vacuum bagging, RTM, etc.
- In addition to this we have extensive experience in the manufacture of specialised lightweight sandwich panels for applications such as floorboards for a range of different applications.
- Aero Services has experience sourcing raw materials and manufacturing components that meet stringent flammability and performance specifications.
- Some of the products we have manufacture from FRP are:
- Aircraft interior systems: cargo pods, galleys, class dividers, stowage units, etc.
- Aircraft exterior systems: wingtip pods, underbelly storage pods, radar pods and stingers, etc.
- Locomotive driver cab interior panels.
- Church Spires.
- REVERSE ENGINEERING
A strong part of our design and engineering is our reverse engineering capability. We use our 6-axis Romer arm (which plugs directly into SolidWorks) to reverse engineer components and to model interfaces such as: fuselages, seat track positions, mounting hole positions, envelope constraints or your component etc. This helps to provide a higher level of confidence that the components we produce correctly fit into the larger system they are forming a part of.
