Aeronet Celebrates 25 Years of Excellence

Irvine, California (May 1, 2007) AERONET, a leader in integrated logistics solutions, proudly announces the 25th Anniversary of its founding. Aeronet, a privately held corporation now headquartered in Irvine, California, was started in April 1982 in Santa Clara, California by Anthony N. Pereira, current Chairman and CEO.

A veteran of the freight forwarding industry, Pereira founded Aeronet in the heart of Silicon Valley in response to the needs of the high-tech and computer industry offering specialized, urgent shipping solutions. Over the past 25 years, as Aeronet grew to meet the challenging demands of its clients, it successfully evolved into a global company that today offers a full line of integrated logistics services and supply chain solutions around the world.

"We attribute Aeronet's success to our very unique way of doing business that is combined with our strong company culture," stated Pereira, "We approach everything we do with a sense of urgency and a clearly defined quality management process so that nothing ever falls through the cracks. Regarding our company culture, from day one, it has been based on three core values that form the foundation upon which Aeronet has been built. They are Integrity, Commitment and Passion." Continued Pereira, "The Integrity to always do the right thing, a Commitment to excellence and keeping our word, and a Passion for everything we do. These values are embraced by all of our associates."

"The acceptance and loyalty of our clients confirms the effectiveness of our business model and our company culture," added Tony Medeiros, Aeronet's President and COO, "The logistics and transportation industries have experienced dramatic changes in the past 25 years as industries reacted and adapted to just in time processes, to outsourcing strategies, lean manufacturing, globalization and applications of high technology in the supply chain.� commented Medeiros. �It's a completely different panorama today as many of our former competitors are no longer around anymore, while others have merged to remain competitive and new ones have entered the arena. Aeronet has not only kept pace with the challenges but we have been at the forefront of many of these dynamic changes consistently exceeding client expectations in quality, cost and delivery. As we reflect on these past 25 Years of Excellence, we thank our clients for their support and loyalty and we also thank and praise our associates and partners worldwide for their dedication and commitment to Aeronet's principles and success."

With regards to what lies ahead, Medeiros stated, "As we look to the future and the challenging requirements of the global supply chain, one thing is clear to us at Aeronet, we will continue to deliver on our promise. We are committed to the delivery of "Best in Class" logistics services, excellence in performance and the delivery of high quality, value added services. And now, we have 25 Years of experience as a solid foundation for moving forward."
