In this episode of Business Matters, presented by Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union, host Rob Cupello delves into the aviation industry with Taylor Wylie, General Manager of Anodyne Electronics Manufacturing Corp (AEM), and Tony Weller, AEM’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

AEM is a direct descendant of the Northern Airborne Technology (NAT) and has firmly established itself as a leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of avionics products, catering to the unique needs of the aviation industry.

Rooted in Kelowna for the past 14 years, their commitment to excellence was recognized when they won the Largest Business of the Year award at the annual Kelowna Chamber Business Excellence Awards in late 2023.

During the discussion, they emphasize the significance of the company's culture and the importance of hiring individuals who seamlessly integrate into the dynamic team environment.

The duo explore the balance between creativity and the necessity for reliability in a team.

Wylie emphasizes, "You can be innovative and you can be creative, but you really do have a sandbox to play in," underscoring the need for a structured approach.

They reflect on the competitiveness of the market, emphasizing AEM's commitment to standing out through the delivery of high-quality products.

Looking ahead, Wylie and Weller reveal plans for new projects, with a focus on venturing into the radio sector, an area lacking recent innovation.

"We’re always looking to optimize the manufacturability of the product, “ says Weller reflecting AEM's commitment to continuous improvement.
