Textron Aviation intends to expand its European distribution centre (EUDC) by 50 per cent this year, building on more than a decade of regional support and strengthening parts availability and fulfilment performance for customers across Europe. This expansion reinforces the company's long-term commitment to customer support and continued aftermarket growth in the region.

This increases the facility's footprint by approximately 1,000 sqm and supports greater parts availability allowing for an estimated increase of 5,000 additional parts and improved fulfilment performance. It also enables continued growth of the local EUDC support team, enhances the company's ability to scale operations to meet growing European demand and provides faster access to critical parts for customers across the region.

TAPD is renowned for its unrivalled global network of seven parts distribution centres, 17 stockrooms and worldwide online parts website.
