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.

Here's how Tooling.Aero benefits you:

• Generate additional revenue: Lease or sell your underutilized tools to network members to convert them into revenue streams.
• Save on tool purchases: Our extensive and ever-growing inventory of over 125,000 tools allows you to find the right tool for the job without upfront investment.
• Streamline your operations: Say goodbye to time-consuming tool management. Tooling.Aero handles logistics, freeing your team to focus on core activities.
• Join a thriving network: Become a partner and unlock the value of your existing tools while gaining access to a wider selection for your needs.

Our Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize how airlines and MROs manage tools by utilizing our customer-centric platform, which is dedicated to unlocking hidden revenue streams and optimizing tool utilization. By fostering a collaborative network, we empower our partners to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve operational excellence.
