Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, announced it is doubling the size of its European Distribution Center (EUDC) in Düsseldorf later this year, highlighting the company’s continued investment in European customer support that covers all its Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker products.
“The expansion of the parts distribution center in Düsseldorf will increase available part numbers to nearly 35,000 items across Europe, including all six service center parts rooms,” said Brad Thress, Textron Aviation senior vice president, Parts, Programs and Flight Operations. “The additional space keeps us ahead of growing demand and ready to support our customers at any time.”
“Our strategy in Europe, and around the world, has always been to provide unrivaled support for the aircraft we produce with centrally located, company-owned service centers and parts distribution centers, mobile service units, and fast AOG response with 1Call,” said Kriya Shortt, Textron Aviation senior vice president, Global Customer Support. “Along with service center growth, this is a signal to us that our strategy continues to win customer approval.”
