About Tooling.Aero

Tooling.Aero is the aviation industry's leading tooling leasing and procurement platform — the one-stop source connecting airlines, MROs, and OEMs with the tools they need, when and where they need them. Founded by Patty Ugalde, who brings more than 30 years of aviation industry experience, Tooling.Aero was built to solve a problem the industry had lived with for too long: no real marketplace for tooling. Today, we're the platform that pioneered aviation tooling leasing, with a database of 125,000+ tools covering every major platform — Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, GE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and more. What sets us apart is simple: we help our clients save money and make money. Lease the tools you need instead of tying up capital buying them, and place your underutilized inventory in our leasing pool to turn idle tools into new revenue. It's a dual benefit few in this industry offer. We serve Directors of Maintenance, Procurement Managers, MRO Operations Leaders, OEM Partner Development teams, and Aviation Finance and Asset Management professionals — offering leasing, buying, selling, leasing pool placement, and OEM partner sales development, all backed by a team that's as invested in your operation as you are. Small but mighty, built for aviation. Visit tooling.aero or submit an RFQ to see what the right tooling partner can do for your operation
