AeroQuest was founded in 1994 by Steve Waters, based on his 12 years experience as an aviation cabinetmaker and manager doing Gulfstream completions at the Jet Center in Van Nuys, California. The company grew quickly and was licensed as an FAA Repair Station in the first year of operation. Paul Hiltman joined Steve in 1999 as General Manager to help manage the growth.
AeroQuest does both custom product manufacturing and repair/refurbishment of interior cabinetry. We have a full cabinet shop including a 48” x 96” CNC router and downdraft spray booth. Our countertops and fiberglass products are manufactured in the composites shop. In 2007 we are adding over 10,000 sq. ft. of production area to accommodate our growth, thanks to the continued trust of our existing and new customers!
