Aeromax

At the New York Toy Fair in February 1997 a flip-flop clad Mark Levine from Chicago who’d invented an innovative, tangle-free toy parachute was displaying his invention for all to see. He threw his parachute guy into the air over 100 times an hour to demonstrate how effective it was. Not only did he get a terrible case of 'parachute elbow' he also sold a cargo plane full of them and launched his company, Aeromax.

Over a decade later now and Mark Levine's Aeromax has become a successful speciality toy and costume company. They still sell thousands of parachute guys but they've diversified into a company that inspires play through imagination with high-quality, theme oriented, “let’s pretend” fancy dress costumes.

Since the start, Aeromax has been in a constant growth pattern designing the proper product assortment and creating a market for its higher quality goods. The company has grown from renting its first 460 sq.ft. office in 1997 to purchasing an 11,000-sq.ft. facility in 2005. It has increased its product line from the initial 1997 parachute to 274 items in 2007. And it has grown from one entrepreneur to seven full-time employees, and an outstanding sales force in the USA with many of the same sales reps from the day they were hired. And Aeromax still makes its famous Aeromax 2000 Tangle Free Toy Parachute, which is still iconicized in the company’s logo.

Today Aeromax, through Fancy Dress Warehouse offer a superb range of unique costume designs for men including Fire Fighters, Race Car Drivers plus the flagship costume lines of the NASA Astronaut outfits. High in quality with original in concept and construction these manly products can't be found anywhere else in the UK market with such ease of access.

Based in Lake Barrington, Illinois USA, Aeromax is is a member of and proud to support the Museum Store Association, Association of Children's Museums, National Hobby Retail Store Association, Kite Trade Association International and the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association.
