5 August 2021:APOC is all set on a growth trajectory and with a solid investment programme. Under this programme APOC is currently expanding their new facility in Berkel en Rodenrijs by adding 2500 square meter warehouse and technical inspection base. APOC specializes in narrowbody components and currently has four Boeing 737 airframes undergoing teardown which will balance its Airbus A320 family stock.  Imminent arrival of these parts alongside the extensive investment in other aircraft assets, including landing gear and engines, over the past 12-18 months has brought forward APOC’s expansion plans and stimulated further new stock hubs in Singapore and Miami. 

Max Lutje Wooldrik, CEO – APOC said, “Irrespective of the impact of COVID-19 and the massive reduction in sales of aircraft parts across the industry worldwide, there have been opportunities to buy or take assets on consignment – not only at favourable prices, but also to partner with airlines and lessors to help them out. We believe that our infrastructure, customer network and inventory management technologies can deliver enormous benefits at this time. Having the right stock in the right place is essential.  We can also be ultra-efficient in terms of shipping bulky items using overnight truck delivery rather than airfreight if it is more cost-effective.”

APOC’s European center in The Netherlands is the focus for process enhancements and streamlining stock management overall. The facility extension will not only house the warehouse team, but also APOC’s technical experts for they have the most interaction.
