About Airmark
In the early 1990’s when representatives of Boeing’s painting department approached the company with the idea of replacing their slow-moving and costly reciprocal cutters with high-speed and economical vinyl cutters from Summa. The company has worked with vinyl and vinyl cutter manufactures for many years to further develop products that could meet the objectives needed to adapt vinyl technology to the aircraft marking and industrial stenciling industries. AirMark, as they were known then, became the preferred solution for the
world’s leading aircraft manufacturers, painters and restoration facilities in the private jet industry, the US military and numerous state Air National Guard divisions.In 2000, AirMark merged with Summa, makers of the advanced tangential-blade cutters that began the vinyl aircraft stencil revolution. The merger brought together the world leaders in aircraft stencil knowledge and advanced vinyl cutter technology.
