Mereo 4 Holdings is a privately held supply chain management enterprise located in Chicago, Illinois, supporting the global government/defense and commercial aerospace markets.

In our government/defense segment, we specialize in aircraft, ground vehicle, and weapons systems sustainment capabilities which deliver improved operational readiness and a lower total cost of ownership for our customers. This is accomplished through the design and implementation of optimized material and labor logistics programs, and by providing value-added distribution services as an intermediary between our government customers and the manufacturers we represent.

We contract with the US Armed Forces and select foreign militaries directly, or through teaming arrangements with other prime contractors; additionally, as a certified small business, we assist the government and our industry affiliates with satisfying small business award objectives resulting from congressional mandates. In our commercial aviation segment, we source and supply aftermarket equipment for aircraft owners, operators, and maintenance facilities, as well as create customized fleet management programs which yield system-level availability and cost impact.

We believe that our leadership team's 120 years of industry experience, track record of performance, scope of capability, and focus on expectations and results, provides the right foundation to earn the trust and confidence of our customers and business partners.
