The exclusive regional appointment has secured AES / SWIS to many of its strong distributors and channel partners such as NAPA, Carquest, O'Reilly's and many others.
The next generation of Image Wheel Alignment equipment represented in the new Bosch Easy 3D is taking over the marketplace thanks to the capable representation of the professionals at AES / SWIS
AES / SWIS Named Pro-Cut International Factory Representative of the Year

2009 proved to be a trying year for the automotive industry. In the face of massive new car dealership closures and overall financial uncertainty, SWIS / AES helped develop innovative partner sales techniques that created the most overall sales nationwide for Pro-Cut Rotor Matching systems.
As the leader in Rotor Matching and On-Car Machining Technology, Pro-Cut has become the preferred choice of most OE's, Independents and Major Service Chains.
Thank you to our customers, whose belief in us and our solutions helped us to receive this recognition. We truly appreciate your business.

January 2009
AES/SWIS joins forces with the largest, most respected paint booth manufacturer in the world, GFS.
AES/SWIS was recently named the exclusive supplier to the automotive and truck refinish markets in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. This appointment was made on the heels of a similar appointment in Colorado, Wyoming and Hawaii by Chief Automotive Technologies, the preferred OE supplier of Computerized Frame Measurement and Correction equipment.
These two appointments have positioned AES/SWIS as on of the regional leaders in Collision Repair equipment.

Honolulu-based AES-Automotive Equipment and Supply has completed the purchase of Swis Automotive and Truck Equipment and Supply in Denver.
The Colorado operation, which is AES's third location, will be renamed Swis, a division of AES. Details of the purchase were not disclosed.
AES moved into the Colorado market last March with an outlet in Colorado Springs. The purchase of the Denver operation makes it one of the largest distributors of automotive repair equipment in that state based on sales volume, according to Managing Partner Lou Cardoza.

Automotive
Equipment & Supply New Location in Colorado
Automotive
Equipment & Supply, a leading automotive equipment distributor for the
state of Hawaii, is announcing its plans for expansion into the mainland
market. Their newest branch in Colorado Springs, Colorado will be open for
business on March 1, 2001.
President
and founder Lou Cardoza started AES (formerly Lou Cardoza Enterprises) with
only five thousand dollars of his own money. Initially the company only
represented two equipment lines. Now, with over 40 lines in solid
distribution, Automotive Equipment & Supply has become a leading
automotive equipment distributor to Hawaii and the Pacific Rim.
With
its headquarters located in Honolulu, Hawaii, Automotive Equipment &
Supply has been rapidly evolving since its humble beginning. Pacific Business
News, a regional business publication, has ranked their company as one of the
Fastest 50 Growing Small Business in Hawaii for the past two years
A few things have changed since Automotive Equipment & Supply first started, but their vision of providing total automotive equipment solutions has not. Lou Cardoza’s son, JR, who joined the business in 1999, is heading up their new Colorado Springs location. He plans to bring the same high level of customer service that his customers over 3000 miles away have become accustomed to. The weather in Colorado may be different, but Automotive Equipment & Supply believes the business climate is just right.
