A technician calibrates and tests a Rockwell
Collins 332D-11A gyro in the lab.
"We wanted to develop our very own state-of-the-art pitotstatic test sets that would set us apart from everyone else," Zollo
said. "We focused on a unique design, as well as making it
affordable, and most importantly, dependable."
A hardworking family business
The company's collective knowledge and expertise comes
from nearly 25 years of experience in the business. The
technicians have the ability to troubleshoot and repair most
avionics-related squawks in all aircraft types.
"When we started, it was just a handful of us in a repair
shop in Carrollton, just outside of Addison Airport," Zollo
said. "We started small, repairing avionics instruments,
and we quickly grew into a one-stop shop with full service
repair, flight line maintenance and manufacturing.
"In the beginning, as a small business, we were making
a name for ourselves in this very competitive aviation
industry. Today, we're on the third largest general aviation
airport in the country - Addison Airport. We've grown to
five times the number of employees."
Owned and operated by husband and wife team, James
and Nina Zollo, DFW feels very much like a family business
- dedicated, hardworking and close-knit.
"We love owning and running our family business," said
Nina Zollo, co-owner and government contract manager.
"We are always concerned about exceeding our customers'
expectations. It is important for us to take care of our
employees and their families as they, in turn, treat our
customers as their own family. Our employees help drive our
company's success and keep it growing. We all pull together
here as a team to get the job done, to come up with creative
solutions that just plain work. I think that's what sets us
