Avalon 2025 is expected to host up to 48,000 industry delegates, including representatives from 28 nations, and is a valuable opportunity for NSW’s small and medium businesses to uplift their capabilities and expand their presence in domestic and international markets.
The NSW Government is supporting 36 businesses on the NSW stand at Avalon 2025, enabling them to demonstrate the depth, breadth and complexity of their products, services and dual use technologies to a global audience.
Australian Aerospace Engineering (AAE) is one of the small and medium businesses from NSW that will be exhibiting at Avalon 2025. Based in Albury, 2025 marks AAE’s 20th year in operation and the organisation is going from strength to strength delivering critical aircraft maintenance, manufacturing and hardware to Defence and commercial aircraft operators. A recent highlight has been AAE’s establishment of the only Eaton Aeroquip® hose shop in the region where it manufactures products for Defence.
NSW is home to 40 per cent of Australia’s globally competitive defence and aerospace businesses and continues to position itself as an attractive place for defence and aerospace investment, aligning with the Commonwealth priorities for an integrated and focused force.

Investment NSW Deputy Secretary Rebecca McPhee said:
“The NSW Government is committed to fostering growth opportunities for the defence and aerospace sector, which directly employs 22,700 people in NSW and is valued at $3.4 billion.
“We are home to businesses with advanced capabilities across all five domains of defence – land, sea, air, space and cyber – and events like Avalon are a powerful platform to showcase the best of NSW innovation and ingenuity.
“The NSW Government is committed to supporting this industry to collaborate, innovate and grow, supporting job creation and economic growth in NSW.”
Australian Aerospace Engineering CEO Adam Johnston said:
“We first exhibited at Avalon in 2017 and the event is a key platform for us to showcase our defence and civil aircraft maintenance and manufacturing capabilities. The NSW Government is a big part of our success at the show and in the defence industry. Our team has worked incredibly hard to become a trusted supplier to Defence and many of the Primes.
“The Eaton Aeroquip® product is the most reliable and proven aerospace hose brand in the world. Under the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) approval we have the capability to manufacture hose products for most commercial aircraft and also ADF platforms such as the MQ-28 Ghost Bat, UH-60M Black Hawk, MH-60R Seahawk, CH-47F Chinook and C130J Hercules.”
