CGI Aviation Leather Experts are associated with AIM who is both an FAA certificated #145 repair station and a franchise of Color Glo International. CGI uses an FAA approved and patented process specification from ColorGlo International. ColorGlo International is a global franchisor providing proprietary products and training for the interior restoration industry.

CGI identified the need in the aviation industry to provide certification and legal paperwork for the interior services they perform for this industry.

They pursued becoming one of the first FAA certificated #145 repair stations to offer interior refurbishment services and were granted their repair station license in 2004. This was a first for the industry. Since that time they have expanded from their home base in Wichita, Kansas to include other ColorGlo franchise operations under their repair station license in the United States
