Bangor, Maine-based C&L Aerospace this week opened a 20,000-sq-ft parts warehouse in Leipzig, Germany. According to the company, it carefully researched and chose the location to provide the most convenient shipping hub for Europe and beyond.
The warehouse will carry aircraft parts for many of the aircraft types it services, including Beechjet, Hawker, Bombardier Challenger, Embraer Legacy, and Cessna Citation XLS and Sovereign business jets. It will also store inventories for commercial aircraft such as ATR 42 and 72 turboprops, Embraer ERJ-145s and E170/190 family jets, and Saab 340s.
“Positioning a new warehouse in the EU allows us to better support our customers in the European Union and Northern Africa,” said C&L Aviation Group CEO Chris Kilgour.
“We are increasingly purchasing aircraft and inventories in Europe and it makes sense to utilize those parts in the local market rather than move them to one of our other warehouses. Inventories kept here are in high demand and this warehouse investment reinforces our commitment to operators as their strategic supply partner. It also allows for more favorable shipping rates and times for these operators.”
The move constitutes part of a larger expansion plan by the company designed to store aircraft parts closer to its worldwide customer base. Earlier this year, C&L announced the opening of a parts warehouse in Wichita, and the company also plans to open one in South Africa in the second quarter. C&L currently operates warehouses in the U.S., England, Scotland, and Australia.
