Oak Brook, IL October 30, 2017— LAUNCH Technical Workforce Solutions of Oak Brook, IL announced today that it has acquired Aviation Managed Solutions, Inc. (AMS) of Griffin, Georgia.
AMS is a premium provider of heavy structure repairs serving the aircraft maintenance industry. As a pioneer and leader in their field, the company is well known for its efficiency and excellence.

AMS, a valuable partner to its clients for winglets, skin repair, NGS and other heavy structure repairs, was founded by CEO Ryan Dailey who will become an employee of LAUNCH in an advisory capacity. “I have always focused on giving our employees as many opportunities as possible to grow and thrive in their professions,” said Dailey. “The acquisition by LAUNCH Technical Workforce Solutions is a natural fit, ensuring that our people will continue on this path.”
