of the parts that need to be visually inspected. Whenever
the inspection timeframe comes up, you merely hook up a
test instrument, do a quick test of the remote sensor, and
see if you have a crack or not. It could save airline operators millions of dollars every year. We have it working
right now on aircraft but can expand the technology into
many other industries.”
Along with designing and building its own products,
AEM creates products on behalf of clients.
“We had a customer in Australia who came to us,”
Veitch said. “He gave us a little concept drawing, and
we basically took that and designed an enclosure and
faceplate interface for his product. Now, he has his own
HF radio that he markets in Australia, and we help him
make it.”
100 Percent Employee Owned
Veitch, formerly Northern Airborne Technology’s vicepresident of production, began working for NAT at the
age of 15, pushing a broom and marking aircraft wiring.
“I don’t think there was ever a year when I didn’t take
some course or training to improve my understanding of
manufacturing,” Veitch said. “I like taking something and
seeing how we can make it better or different.”
After starting AEM from the remnants of NAT, Veitch
offered company shares to his top managers, and since
then has given other employees the same option. Today,
AEM is 100 percent employee owned with 52 of the 88
employees owning at least some shares. For AEM, employee ownership offers distinct advantages.
“It’s pride of ownership, and pride of growing and
being involved in something,” he said. “I want every employee to think this is their company and ask, ‘What am I
doing that makes this company stronger? And, if it’s not
making the company stronger, why am I doing it?’”
The focus on new products and services has meant significant growth for the young company. In just four years,
AEM has nearly doubled its staff.
“We have great employees who have significant experience and who understand our customers are the most
important priority we have,” Veitch said. “In this industry,
customer support is paramount to a company’s survival.” q
