The benefits of our approach:
Securing supply
Our global presence, as well as our expertise in the procurement of raw materials, means we are in an unrivalled position to secure the right materials for our clients. We have the largest stock of aerospace materials in the industry, with over 250,000 square meters of warehouse and production space.
Reducing logistics costs
With our enormous warehouse space, we offer our customers the option of storing inventory on their behalf, before kitting and delivery on a just-in-time-basis to the customer’s point of use. This saves time and money.
Clear information and transparency
Our digital control tower services are designed to increase transparency in the materials supply chain, improve information flows and therefore increase end-to-end efficiency.
Time saving & efforts
Our customized supply chain management and control tower services result in reduced costs for our customers by saving overhead and labor costs, reducing inventory burden, eliminating wasteful processes, and improving purchasing leverage from an expanded supplier base.
Innovative logistics and supply chain management
We have merged our digital, supply chain, and logistics capabilities with our longstanding experience and knowledge of materials, warehousing and processing. This strategic and innovative shift in our core business—supplying materials—has made us a leading provider of customized supply chain services.

We closely collaborate with our customers to create shared data ecosystems. We then feed this data in an AI-powered control tower, which leads to higher inventory and stock processing accuracy, and optimized order management.
Optimization of inventory along the supply chain
By intelligently linking our materials distribution business and supply chain services we are strongly positioned to provide just-in-time and just-in-sequence delivery services.
