Protex works directly with you to develop custom foam solutions for your aerospace & aviation tools.

In recent years, high profile examples of the catastrophic effects of misplaced tools and foreign object debris in operating aircraft have caused aerospace companies and airlines to rethink the way they set up and organize their manufacturing and repair & overhaul facilities. Protex knows that tool inventory management and control has become of paramount importance and works directly with facilities looking to implement 5S LEAN manufacturing principles to design foam inserts for rolling tool cabinets, tool boxes, shelves, shadow boards, and mobile repair kits. Protex foam inserts are CNC routed from closed-cell, cross-linked polyethylene foam which is built to last and won’t react with the finish on your tools, parts, or components. Our two-color inserts with optional laser engraved part or serial numbers provide quick visual identification of missing tools and can potentially save lives, not to mention millions of dollars in damage.

PRIORITIZE SAFETY

Protex custom foam inserts ensure that every tool, part, and component in your facility is accounted for. Whether building an aircraft or performing routine maintenance, our solutions help customers maintain an uncompromising commitment to safety and accountability.

DECREASE DOWN-TIME

Misplaced tooling accounts for millions of dollars per year in down-time. The ability to respond quickly and efficiently to an aircraft taken out of service is crucial. Organized kitting not only prevents tools from ending up where they shouldn’t, but improves the speed of repairs, especially when mechanics must perform mobile repairs.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Highly specialized aerospace tooling, exotic metal parts, and complex electrical components represent a very significant investment. Protex uses proprietary optical scanning to capture the contours or your tools for a perfect fit every time. We also manually engineer larger items with great attention to detail to achieve the same level of fit and protection. This can be especially important when shipping high value items.

SERIALIZE & IDENTIFY

Quick visual identification of a missing tool is possible with our contrasting pocket colors. Additionally, we offer laser engraved part or serial numbers next to each pocket for added confirmation.

BRAND & MARKET

Protex can engrave your name and logo into each insert for an added level of professionalism. Never miss the chance to market your company’s name with our high resolution laser engraving.
