Appareo -- May 27, 2016

Anyone interested in North Dakota success stories, or the North Dakota aircraft industry or avionics, needs to visit the Appareo site and spend some time going through the various posts. It is another incredible story coming out of North Dakota.

For newbies: it looks, this company is headquartered on the eastern side of the state; the Bakken is on the western side.

It is interesting to note where Appareo has offices. The company is headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, with offices in Tempe, Arizona and Paris, France. There is only one reason to be in Paris: Airbus. Okay, the food. And the wine. And the Louvre. Okay, there are a gazillion reasons to be in Paris, but when I saw an avionics industry with offices in Paris, I immediately made the Airbus connection.

Tempe, Arizona? Honeywell Aerospace is the largest manufacturer of aircraft engines and avionics, as well as a producer of auxiliary power units (APUs) and other aviation products. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, just minutes west of Tempe, AZ.

Appareo is a very, very interesting story.

A reader sent me the alert, proud to say his son works for the company.

I found it interesting the company was headquartered on the west side of the Red River, and not in Minneapolis. There are some huge avionics companies in MSP.
