Like many industry-changing products, HangarStack was created when a team of professionals identified a problem and solved it. The problem in focus was how to reduce risk and cost while moving and stacking aircraft on ramps and hangars. 

The solution arrived four years ago when the company’s co-founders, Mike Partin and Steve McNeilly, developed a purpose-built online software application that provides visual display of available and used hangar space.
