L2 Aviation, a supplier of global avionics services, including engineering, certification, installation and manufacturing, announces it has been awarded the prestigious James A. Wuenker Growth Award by REDI Cincinnati, recognizing the company’s strategic investment, job creation, and transformational impact in the Cincinnati region.
The award was presented during REDI’s annual meeting, which celebrates outstanding companies and leaders helping drive regional growth and innovation. Named after the late visionary economic developer Jim Wuenker, The James A. Wuenker Growth Award honors businesses that demonstrate a lasting commitment to the regional economy through job creation, capital investment, and community partnership. L2 Aviation earned the distinction for its decision to establish a new engineering and manufacturing facility at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) in Erlanger, KY, a move that solidifies its role as a leader in avionics engineering, modification, and product development.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this award and be recognized alongside other innovators and changemakers in the region,” says Tony Bailey, chief operating officer of L2 Aviation. “Our relocation and expansion into Northern Kentucky was a strategic decision aimed at aligning our growth with the right partners, workforce and community. REDI Cincinnati, BE-NKY Growth Partnership and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development have been instrumental in supporting our journey.”
Since announcing the move to Boone County, L2 Aviation has quickly scaled operations, transitioned its leadership and manufacturing footprint, and launched the development of proprietary L2 branded products. The company’s presence is expected to create dozens of high-paying, skilled positions and attract further investment in advanced aviation technologies to the region.
“The James A. Wuenker Growth Award is a testament not just to what we’ve done — but to where we’re going,” says CEO Mark Lebovitz. “We’re building more than avionics solutions. We’re building an ecosystem of innovation, technical excellence, and opportunity right here in Northern Kentucky.”
L2’s award-winning expansion underscores the strength of regional collaboration between industry, government and local communities. The company remains focused on long-term investment, operational excellence, and fostering a people-first culture across all locations.
Founded in 1997, L2 Aviation is a global leader in aircraft modification, avionics integration, certification, and engineering services. With the support of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region, L2 is positioned to scale its manufacturing capabilities, grow its workforce, and bring cutting-edge products to market, faster and more reliably than ever before.
