meeting marine customers’ needs since 1977

The roots of AER Supply were laid in 1958 when managing partner Richard Miller’s father started a business servicing onboard systems in Clear Lake, Texas.

In those days, boats didn't have a lot on them. Manufacturers sold through installing and servicing dealers because there wasn’t much of a market to distribute to.

By 1977, he had established himself as a dealer, and by that time manufacturers were looking for distributors for their products and to establish a network of sales, servicing, and warranty dealers so that they could go to builders.  They had progressed from the aftermarket refit to approaching the builder and putting their equipment on the boat at the builder level. Since we already had good relationships with a lot of these manufacturers, they came to us to and offered us the opportunity to become a distributor. Thus, AER was born.

Since then, we have expanded our reach from Texas to multiple states and ultimately around the globe for many of our commercial products.

Over the years we’ve seen companies merge and products change and improve. Because of our long history, we know these products inside and out…often even better than some of the younger folks at the companies that manufacture them!

We are proud to offer both leisure and commercial customers that technical knowledge that has been built and passed on over the decades.
