The Values that Define Us
The Aerial Machine & Tool culture is one of honesty and humility, infused with patriotism, where trust is the centerpiece of our highly performing team. Each member of the Aerial Machine & Tool team is laser focused on the end user – that individual service member who is either in, or preparing to operate in, harm’s way. We know our work saves lives, and every one of us is committed to the values below that bring this vision to reality daily through designing and manufacturing premium survivability solutions for the warfighter. These are the values that define all of us at Aerial Machine & Tool.

Humility
We are servant leaders at our core — acting with modesty in behavior, attitude, and spirit in everything we do.
Honesty
We never conduct ourselves in a way that is deceitful, deceptive, or untruthful. Sincerity and integrity are central to everything we do.
Respect
We have a deep admiration for the brave men and women of the Armed forces — for each other and our customers.
Accountability
We always take ownership of our behavior, our actions, and their impact on the company and our customers.

A One-of-A-Kind Company
Aerial Machine & Tool combines the perfect mix of size and scale, agility and adaptability. We’re big enough to solve some of the most complex survivability, but small enough to listen to our customers, move quickly, and respond with a precision that’s unmatched in the industry.
