Rotortrade North America's home town.

Rotortrade has established a new North American headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware, positioning the company for accelerated growth and enhanced service delivery across the region.

Rotortrade North America will serve as the cornerstone of the company's operations in the region, acting as the central hub for its business activities and serving as the launching pad for further expansion initiatives.

The initial team will consist of seasoned industry professionals such as Bob Brant, VP and head of region for North America. Brant brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of the North American market, making him an invaluable asset to Rotortrade's leadership team. Joining him will be sales support and administrative staff. The team will also support a growing network of Rotortrade sales personnel located throughout the US and Canada to provide more effective and efficient service.

"As we embark on this exciting journey of growth and expansion, Rotortrade remains committed to delivering excellence in all aspects of our business," says CEO Philippe Lubrano. "The establishment of our North American headquarters underscores our dedication to serving clients with unparalleled quality and service, and we are confident that under Bob's leadership, Rotortrade North America will thrive and contribute significantly to our global success."

Joining the Rotortrade team in 2021, Brant is a distinguished graduate of the US Naval Academy who embarked on his aviation journey as a helicopter pilot in the US Marine Corps. Over the course of a career spanning more than three decades, Brant has established himself in aviation sales, representing leading OEMs in both the fixed and rotary wing industries.
