About Us
Aerostat, Inc. is based in central Florida in the city of Leesburg. It has maintained its headquarters there since its inception more than twenty-five years ago.
Its founder, Lewis Puckett, has extensive aviation experience as a pilot of both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. As a pilot he gained a great deal of experience in regard to prescribed burning. While performing burn operations he conceptualized the automation of the process that ultimately led to the development of plastic sphere dispensers.
Aerostat takes great pride in the relationships it has with various federal and state agencies involved in forest and wild land management. If you are having a problem with your dispenser contact us and we will be glad to assist you. Some repairs are easy to diagnose and we can supply the necessary part. Other repairs can be more complex but we maintain a comprehensive repair facility where we can totally overhaul dispensers. We are committed to providing both timely and high quality service including estimates of repair costs before work is done.
Some time ago Aerostat recognized problems with the quality and uninterrupted supply of aerial ignition spheres manufactured outside of the United States. In keeping with its commitment to be able to supply users of the spheres in a timely fashion it made arrangements to have the spheres manufactured in the United States. As part of this arrangement it required that the suppliers of items needed to produce the spheres also be United States domiciled companies. As a result Aerostat is the only company that can say its spheres are made in the United States and it does not have to worry about foreign governments cutting off supplies of its spheres.
We take great pride in being a United States based company and are very proud of our relationship with both federal and state agencies as a supplier of aerial ignition spheres. Moreover we are proud to be able to say that we are reinvesting in the economy of the United States and helping to create and keep jobs here.
