About Tooling.Aero
Born from a passion for efficiency in the aviation industry, Tooling. Aero, a woman-owned business, is your one-stop solution for maximizing the value of your tools.
Our founder, Patty Ugalde, leveraged her 30+ years of experience to identify a hidden opportunity: countless airlines and MROs own underutilized tools that occupy valuable space. Tooling. Aero bridges the gap. We connect airlines and MROs with a secure platform to lease these tools to others facing AOG situations or planned short-term repairs that require specialized tools. We also provide solutions for outright sale.
