Aero Fulfillment Services Acquires Kable Product Services to Enhance Operational Capabilities
Aero Fulfillment Services, a leading provider of end-to-end fulfillment solutions, announced the acquisition of Kable Product Services, a well-established fulfillment and distribution company based in Fairfield, Ohio. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in Aero’s growth trajectory, reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence, expanding its regional presence, and enhancing its ability to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
Kable Product Services, a privately held company founded in 1959, brings over six decades of experience in the fulfillment industry. The company has built a strong reputation for its customer-first philosophy, consistent service quality, and operational reliability. With a team of 45 skilled employees, Kable has long served as a trusted partner to a diverse range of clients across the region. Now, by joining forces with Aero Fulfillment Services, Kable’s legacy and capabilities are poised to reach new heights.
The acquisition not only increases Aero’s operational capacity but also deepens its footprint in the Midwest—an important hub for national logistics and distribution. With both companies operating in Fairfield, Ohio, and their facilities located just a mile apart, the transition is expected to be seamless. This geographical proximity enables immediate integration of processes, consolidation of resources, and optimization of logistics without significant disruption to ongoing operations or customer service.
Shared Vision and Cultural Alignment
A core driver of the acquisition was the strong alignment between the two organizations in terms of values, culture, and business philosophy. Both companies share a customer-centric approach and a commitment to delivering flexible, efficient, and technology-driven fulfillment services.
“This is an exciting day for both organizations,” said John Gimpel, President and CEO of Aero Fulfillment Services. “I’ve known the leadership team at Kable for many years and have long admired their dedication to quality service and customer care. This acquisition brings together two companies with shared values and a common commitment to delivering flexible, efficient fulfillment solutions. We’re confident that our combined capabilities will create meaningful value for our customers and team members alike.”
That cultural compatibility is a critical factor in the success of mergers and acquisitions, particularly in industries where service quality and employee engagement are key differentiators. In this case, both Aero and Kable have a long-standing tradition of investing in people, building trusted client relationships, and delivering on their operational promises.
Michael Duloc, President and CEO of Kable Product Services, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the natural fit between the two organizations. “Joining Aero Fulfillment Services is a tremendous opportunity for Kable and our team,” he said. “We share a deep-rooted commitment to delivering exceptional service, and together, we can leverage our combined expertise to enhance operational efficiency and further exceed our customers’ expectations.”
Enhancing Capabilities and Scale
Aero Fulfillment Services, founded in 1986 by Jack Gimpel, has grown steadily over the past several decades into a regional powerhouse in third-party logistics and fulfillment. With operational sites in both Fairfield and Mason, Ohio, the company employs more than 350 people and serves a broad spectrum of clients across industries including retail, e-commerce, healthcare, and manufacturing.
Aero’s core value proposition centers on its ability to deliver “speed to value”—a concept that emphasizes rapid implementation, real-time performance tracking, and continuous improvement. By leveraging advanced technologies, including real-time inventory tracking, customizable dashboards, and data analytics, Aero ensures operational transparency and accountability for its clients. This data-driven approach also supports process optimization, enabling faster order fulfillment, increased accuracy, and better customer satisfaction.
The integration of Kable Product Services will add approximately 60 employees to Aero’s workforce, significantly boosting its capacity and capabilities. The combined organization will benefit from a larger talent pool, cross-functional knowledge sharing, and an expanded physical footprint that can support increased volume and future growth.
Importantly, the acquisition allows Aero to enhance its service offerings while maintaining continuity. All current Kable employees are expected to transition to Aero, preserving institutional knowledge and maintaining established customer relationships. This commitment to continuity underscores Aero’s intention to build on Kable’s strengths rather than replace them—an approach that has been well received by both employees and clients.
Strategic Significance and Market Impact
From a strategic standpoint, the acquisition positions Aero Fulfillment Services to respond more effectively to market trends that are reshaping the fulfillment industry. These trends include the continued growth of e-commerce, rising customer expectations for rapid delivery, increased demand for supply chain visibility, and the need for scalable logistics solutions in a volatile economic environment.
By expanding its workforce, operational infrastructure, and technical capabilities, Aero is better equipped to manage these challenges and deliver value-added services at scale. The acquisition also enhances Aero’s ability to offer customized solutions, including pick-and-pack services, kitting and assembly, inventory management, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment.
Furthermore, the move reflects a broader industry trend toward consolidation, as fulfillment providers seek to achieve greater scale, improve operational efficiency, and expand geographic reach. In this context, the Aero-Kable transaction is a proactive step toward future-proofing both organizations and ensuring their continued relevance in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Commitment to Customers and the Community
Both Aero and Kable have strong ties to the local community in Fairfield, Ohio, and have long demonstrated a commitment to creating quality jobs, fostering employee development, and supporting community initiatives. The acquisition reinforces this commitment, as the combined company intends to continue investing in workforce training, employee well-being, and local partnerships.
“Our people are our greatest asset,” John Gimpel emphasized. “We are thrilled to welcome the Kable team into the Aero family, and we’re committed to making this a positive transition for everyone involved. Together, we will build an even stronger organization—one that continues to serve our customers with integrity, efficiency, and care.”
Kable’s employees, many of whom have long tenures with the company, will now have access to expanded opportunities for career growth and professional development within Aero’s larger organizational structure. Customers of both companies can also expect a smooth transition with no interruption in service, and in many cases, enhanced service capabilities.
The acquisition of Kable Product Services marks a new chapter in Aero Fulfillment Services’ story—one that builds on a legacy of trust, innovation, and service excellence. As the two companies come together, they are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value to customers, create more opportunities for employees, and strengthen their role as a leader in the fulfillment industry.
With a shared vision, complementary strengths, and a commitment to continuous improvement, Aero and Kable are poised for sustainable growth and long-term success in the years ahead.
