Forty-five years building, running, and turning around precision gear and aerospace manufacturers.
Tom Marino has spent his entire career on the floor of gear and aerospace manufacturing — as an owner, an operator, and an advisor.
Over more than four decades he has acquired, built, and run precision gear manufacturers — from Kosmo Gears and Gear Technology to Production Engineering & Machine — delivering complex, high-precision aerospace gearing for commercial and defense programs.
That experience spans the entire manufacturing system: CNC hobbing, shaping, and grinding; ID/OD grinding; AS9100 quality and inspection; capital equipment strategy; process planning; and the OEM and Tier 1 relationships that move programs forward.
Marino Aerospace Advisory Group is where that experience goes to work for other manufacturers — helping them build, expand, and optimize gear manufacturing capability with practical, manufacturable, and economically sound decisions.
Today, the practice brings together a dedicated team of specialists — Senior Aerospace Gear Engineers and Senior Aerospace AS9100 Quality Experts — so clients get real depth across engineering and quality, not a single point of contact.
American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) — Board of Directors, 2010–2013. Contributed to industry standards, workforce development, and strategic direction for the North American gear manufacturing sector.
Loyola Marymount University — Bachelor of Arts, History & Political Science, 1979.
