Beto Yarce, Regional Administrator, was given a turn at the controls of AeroGo, Inc.’s equipment mover using air caster technology. Beto was able to easily move more than one full ton! This was part of the visit of Deputy Administrator Dilawar Syed, organized by SBA Seattle District Office. AeroGo leveraged the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program and State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) administered by Washington State Department of Commerce to help their business domestically and internationally.

Dilawar Syed, Deputy Administrator, U.S. Small Business Administration Deputy Administrator, got to move more than a ton of weight . . . easily! He toured AeroGo, Inc. in Tukwila as part of his Western Washington visit this week. AeroGo manufacturers equipment to move heavy items and materials, in this case, using air casters. The company also uses hovercraft and other technology to help their clients move items weighing just a few hundred pounds to 5,000 tons.

Thank you for joining our #SmartFactory Ribbon Cutting, FOX 13 Seattle! As Matthew Smith reports, “First Mode is setting up this factory in an effort to reduce emissions from giant trucks used in mining operations and other heavy industries… [First up for their product line is manufacturing] add-on systems that can make current machines hybrid. The reason is pretty simple too. Companies want to save money, but they can’t buy all new vehicles if they still want to turn a profit.” Watch their coverage, including why Governor Jay Inslee believes First Mode is ushering in “the biggest transition in our country since we transitioned from horses to cars.” https://lnkd.in/g73Nxr-y #PoweringCleanEnergy #FirstModePathToZero #Decarbonization
