At Avicore Defense, we are proud of our rich history and deep roots in the aerospace and defense industries. With decades of experience and a commitment to excellence, we have grown from a small sales rep business into a trusted partner, providing innovative solutions, exceptional customer service, and quality products to support critical industries.

Our journey began in 1983 when Calvin Wilde founded Avio Tech in Muskegon, Michigan, as a manufacturer’s sales rep. Over the years, Avio Tech expanded its focus, evolving into a full-service provider offering sales, fulfillment, project management, and in-house manufacturing and assembly capabilities.

Similarly, LM Products was established in 1996 as a distributor of fasteners and fittings for the military, aerospace, and commercial sectors. Under the ownership of Anita Conant and Carri Koehler, LM Products expanded its scope and achieved industry-leading certifications like AS9120, ensuring the highest quality standards for its customers.

In 2020, these two complementary companies joined forces when LM Products acquired Avio Tech. The merger of these two teams, completed in 2024, created Avicore Defense, a unified organization with the shared goal of reducing redundancies, improving efficiencies, and delivering even greater value to our customers. Today, Avicore Defense specializes in supporting the defense and aerospace sectors with a robust range of services and products, including military jacks, communication boxes, lights, radar components, and other complex projects requiring expert management and precision.

As an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) certified by the SBA, Avicore Defense is proud to continue its legacy of innovation, excellence, and collaboration in service to the industries that protect and advance our nation.
