Utilizing a hybrid of the Toyota Production System whereby assembly line and cell manufacturing processes are integrated, its manufacturing capability remains extremely flexible. In fact, AAE can and does process small batches of high demand parts at the same cost effective efficiency as producing large volume runs. This translates into the industries best fill rates for our customers. It also allows AAE to provide an R&R (repair and return) service that can produce a 24 to 48 hour turn around time; something our classic car restoration customers have come to rely on.

AAE’s R&D center is at the heart of keeping out in front with the very latest vehicle applications. While other remanufacturers rely solely on suppliers to bring the components required for the remanufacturing process, AAE takes a more proactive approach. Working with industry leading seal and o-ring manufactures, AAE continually brings products to market faster. Known for its knowledge and expertise, AAE has become to company to call when faced with a challenging application.

At AAE, we understand that when the vehicle is up on the rack, your customer needs to source the part quickly and correctly in order to maximize his revenue opportunities. However, with the complexity and options of vehicles on the road today, it is virtually impossible for the wholesale distributor to stock every part number. This means having quick access to our inventory is a critical component in their purchasing decisions.
