About Tradequip International & TAP Publishing Company
TAP Publishing Company
Tradequip International is owned and operated by TAP Publishing Company in Crossville, TN. The company began in 1937 with the launch of its flagship publication, Trade-A-Plane.
TAP Publishing started on my grandfather's kitchen table. Back in the 1930s, he owned the only airplane in Crossville, Tennessee and after an accident damaged his plane, he didn't have a good source to replace the plane's broken parts. His search led to the beginning of Trade-A-Plane, now in its 74th year as the leading aviation trade publication.
Over the years, TAP Publishing has grown to include other tabloid-style periodicals, all representing unique and specialized markets. We learned early-on that our customers value classified advertising, so all publications are heavy with ads from buyers to sellers of parts, equipment and services. If you're looking to buy or sell, this is the place.
The same spirit of invention that pushed us into business inspires us today as we look to constantly improve our publications. In 1998, we added our first online-only service, www.weathertap.com, offering real-time weather on the Internet. We will continue to look for ways to combine advancing technology and new markets with our tradition of superior products and services.
We hope our publications find their way to your kitchen table, or wherever you enjoy reading papers in great detail.
