Leaders in Turbo Machines
Redline is in the business of developing and manufacturing small turbo machines. We leverage over 200 collective years of design experience in our field. Our corporate history dates back to 1989 when Bryan Seegers founded M-DOT Aerospace and to 1986 when Mark Lee founded Aeromark. Mark Lee acquired M-DOT in 2011 and formed Azmark Aero Systems In 2014, Azmark was sold and its engineering division was permitted to separate and form Redline, as an independent corporate entity. Redline retained and currently owns all hardware and IP related to its gas turbine and turbopump product line. Continue reading to learn more about our history at Redline Turbines.
