Our Impressive Growth

Max Aerostructures In Wichita Kansas History 1

Est. 2016

  • MAX Aerostructures was formed by young but skilled aerospace professionals who have spent their careers in Wichita, along with the backing of Bird’s Eye Holdings, a well-known family firm with a long history in the manufacturing business.
  • The company purchased and started operating from our 206,000-square-foot building on 12 acres of land in southwest Wichita, which was previously a Bombardier Business Aircraft building.
  • MAX Aerostructures acquired Paradigm Machine, a company in El Dorado, Kansas, that manufactured parts primarily for Tier II aircraft suppliers. The acquisition included machining equipment, their customer base and employees. The two Paradigm Machine founders are now ownership members at MAX Aerostructures.
