Aero Fulfillment's 40th Anniversary
From a small operation in Blue Ash to a trusted fulfillment partner serving companies across industries — this is our story.
Aero Fulfillment's 40th anniversary marks four decades of growth built on the dedication of our team and the trust of our customers. Since 1986, what began as a small operation in Blue Ash has evolved into a trusted fulfillment partner serving companies across industries. This page celebrates the people, milestones, and moments that shaped Aero over the past four decades.
Built by the Gimpels,
grown by everyone
Forty years ago, Jack Gimpel saw an opportunity where others saw a gap. He built Aero from the ground up — and eventually passed the torch to his son John, who has led the company into a new era of growth. Together, they represent what Aero has always been: a family business that treats every employee and client like one of their own.
How Aero Fulfillment began
In 1986, Aero began with a simple observation: companies needed a better way to manage and move their products after printing was complete. Founder Jack Gimpel saw the gap firsthand while working in print sales and set out to build a company focused on reliable fulfillment and strong customer service.

Voices from the Aero Fulfillment team
Aero has always been built by the people who show up every day. Here are a few of the faces and stories behind four decades of fulfillment.
Kim started as an Account Coordinator when Mason was the only facility and carbon copy forms ran the warehouse. Her early work with P&G shaped Aero's quality program — two of those partnerships are still going 20+ years later.
Emily started in data entry at the Fairfield facility when Aero had around 20 clients and the warehouse break area wasn't even enclosed. She's watched the operation grow dramatically — and stayed because Aero made her feel valued and trusted.
Cheri joined as a temporary production associate when mail ruled and there was no WMS in sight. She transitioned into Client Experience — even during a WMS implementation — and has stayed because no two days are the same.
