After last year's successful showing at the Aircraft Interior Expo Americas (AIEA) in Long Beach, CA, Aircraft Hardware West (AHW) decided to once again have a strong presence at this year's AIEA held on September 14-16 in Seattle, WA. "2011 has been our busiest year to date," says AHW CEO and President Frank Ioffrida, "Yet we knew the investment of time and resources for the Seattle event would be well worth the effort." AIEA is the only dedicated aircraft interiors event in the Americas region showcasing the latest in cabin interior design, and for a company like AHW whose largest burgeoning market is in the aircraft interior arena, the 2011 Seattle Aircraft Interior Expo delivered another noteworthy opportunity for AHW to interact with the most concentrated gathering of innermost people working in this niche market. As one of over 300 exhibitors, AHW attracted hundreds of interested attendees to its booth. In a steady flow of conversation over the course of three full days these attendees came to know AHW as a growing global supplier of aerospace fasteners from the world's leading manufacturers of military standard parts including Cherry Aerospace, SPS Technologies, Bristol, Alcoa and Shur-Lok. Attendees also learned that with the recent acquisition of World Marketing, AHW is now able to procure the entire line of metal and plastic placards needed for any interior application. "It's all about visibility," says AHW Operations Manager Krista Ioffrida, "And these concentrated events are invaluable for brand recognition and growing our business." With new relationships forged, long-time partners reengaged and visibility heightened, AHW will continue its on-time delivery of the finest products in the industry while looking forward to attending 2012's Interior Expos in Seattle, WA and Hamburg,Germany.
