WHAT
SETS OREGON AERO APART? |
 |
|
| Five
characteristics set Oregon Aero apart from the competition: |
| 1 |
Our
ability to work with manufacturing materials in dramatically
more effective ways than other manufacturers through complex,
effective product designs. Oregon Aero also often designs
and manufactures its own manufacturing equipment.
"There’s no magic material; we may use as many as
a dozen different materials in one product. Materials contribute
to a great product, but it’s the engineering that makes
the difference. You don’t simply replace ‘bad’
material with ‘good’ material and fix a problem."
— Mike Dennis, Oregon Aero founder and president |
 |
Oregon
Aero uses several materials in our custom seat cushion
systems, including visco-elastic foam. The materials
and designs work together to create pain-free seating.
|
27
Steps - Whatever
it takes, that's what we'll do to create an effective product.
In this case, it requires 27 steps to manufacture one of our
patented helmet liner pads used in Oregon Aero® Helmet
Liner Padding Systems. Here, pads are removed carefully following
the application of a gas permeable, but moisture and waterproof,
proprietary coating. |
|
 |
| 2 |
Our
commitment to design and manufacture customized products.
We don’t create "one size fits all" products
to make it easier for us. Whatever the application, we
custom design each and every product. Oregon Aero takes the
time to go through as many designs as necessary to get the
most effective product possible. We talk to people who will
use (and maintain!) the product, we conduct extensive
testing and evaluation, and we don’t stop until we’re
satisfied the product performs optimally. |

Custom
Products - Creating a custom designed
seat cushion system for a CH-46 helicopter used
in logging. The custom seat design enables the
pilot to lean out of the cockpit comfortably
while eyeing his sling load. |
|
| 3 |
Our
dedication to 100% customer satisfaction.
"We found Oregon Aero to be a customer  friendly
company which did what it said it would and on time. We
have
no reservations in recommending this product," said
edtiors of Aviation Consumer Magazine, evaluating
Oregon Aero’s
upgrade of the magazine’s Mooney pilot seat cushion
system.

Our
meticulous attention to details of product design and manufacturing.
"It’s the last 20% of a product design that’s
the most intricate, the most challenging, and the most important.
The last 20% is what makes all the difference in the world."
— Mike Dennis |
 |
| KC-135
Cushion Details - A hand strap to help the
cushion base as a flotation device. Leather to prevent
chafing and
reduce maintenance. Just two of several details built
into the design of a KC-135 seat cushion system. |
| 5 |
Our
ability to create products for a wide variety of industries.
"Who would have thought we’d make forklift cushions?
Or military helmet liners? Or shoe inserts?
But one thing leads to another, and the pathways never end."
— Mike Dennis |
 |
| Solving
Problems - Oregon
Aero solves one problem, and it leads to
solving another, and another...and to creating
products such as the ShockBlockers® Insole
Inserts and the BLSS® Kit
(Ballistic Liner and Suspension system). |
|
|
|
| Forklift
Cushion System |
The
Oregon
Aero® BLSS® Kit creates
a pain-free, safer, stable, and positively buoyant
helmet. The
patented pads also are gas/air permeable, moisture
and waterproof, and self-wicking, creating a cooler,
drier helmet. The BLSS® Kit
includes an innovative four-point chin strap and
integrated nape
pad harness
system. Developed for the U.S. Army Special Operations
in 1997, the padding systems are used by military,
law enforcement and other industires.
