AEV Feels Like Home.” More than a simple statement that sums up the atmosphere at the AEV facility, this recognition is exemplified in the employees that make up the AEV team. Nearly half of AEV’s 500 employees have been with the company for more than 10-years. That’s decades of pride, expertise, and family that walk the AEV halls, manufacturing the life-saving units that crews and patients have come to trust during times of emergency.
