CUSTOMER LOGOS:
Lewis Industries, LLC is a veteran family owned small business in Southeast Kansas founded by Michael W. and Kim D. Lewis. Kim has 25 years of professional management experience in the Healthcare Industry and Mike has 33 years of professional experience in the field of Aeronautics and High-Tech sales to the Department of Defense and Commercial Business Industry.
Specifically, Mike served as an Aviation Officer in the United States Marine Corps, was a Research & Development engineer for Boeing Military Airplane Company, and retired as a Business Director for EMC2. He has 2 U.S. Patents, 1 U.S. Patent Pending and has been part of several projects resulting in other patents.
The company motto for Lewis Industries, “Business Solutions Beyond Visual Range”, is exemplified by what earned Mike one of the top medals in the Navy/Marine Corps for professionalism. While deployed on active duty overseas he received formal communication that all aircraft in his squadron were grounded due to a landing gear part failure that had resulted in fatalities in the fleet.
After being told it could be months before replacement parts were made available and with critical missions looming Mike took it upon himself to locate manufacturing blueprints for the landing gear parts and coordinated production of them with the Subic Bay Ship Repair Facility (SRF) in the Republic of The Philippines.
The parts were machined & produced by a highly specialized group at the SRF who repair nuclear powered submarines and were done in just 10 days. Only days later all aircraft in Mike’s squadron were repaired and ready for duty while all other similar aircraft in the entire fleet were still sitting on the ground. Mike was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for “outstanding professionalism and ingenuity” which testifies to his character and truly “beyond visual range” thinking.
