In March of 1991 Harry Haight who started Aero-Plastics retired from the company and moved to the Philippines leaving Mike to run the company. In early 1994 Mike joined with Mike Aws to purchase the company from Harry and in November 1996 Mike Hammer became sole owner of Aero-Plastics.

Tia Uchello, Quality Manager. Formerly known as Tia Williamson; Tia was with us from 1996 thru 2001 as our QA Manager when she decided to gamble on the gaming industry. Clearly the cards she was dealt or the cards she was dealing to the customers were not good enough and she is back for her second tour of duty. On her first tour with us she was instrumental in implementing our Quality Manual and getting our initial ISO-9001 registration, in addition Tia is a certified internal auditor. Unless she learns to count to 21 we are pretty sure she will be here for the long run.

Mike Munsinger, Machining Manager. Our go to guy in the machine shop. Rumor has it that Mike has been in manufacturing since he was out of diapers and when we went looking for a new Production Manager his (20) years of experience made it an easy choice for us. His responsibilities include overseeing the machine shop, assembly and programming. Mike has had substantial exposure and training in lean manufacturing principles which he puts to use on a daily basis manufacturing you parts. When not at the helm of the machine shop, Mike heads home to continue raising his three children with his wife Carol. We can only hope that they all turn out like Mike “in some instances”.
