On the 10th of Dec 2020 AAE and Eaton signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an exclusive TSO approved aerospace hose shop in Australia, supplying hose assemblies and fluid conveyance products from the Aeroquip® product line. This capability within the Australasian region will support the Australian Defence Force and commercial industry with an important sovereign capability. AAE will be approved to manufacture and repair a wide range of low, medium and high pressure aerospace hose assemblies, tested and certified to the highest possible quality control requirements.

Having discussed this capability with our well established customer base across Defence and industry, we are confident our Hose Shop will be a welcome addition to our existing product and service offerings.
