Kellstrom Aerospace, a prominent global player in commercial aftermarket aviation lifecycle solutions, has significantly broadened its portfolio of used serviceable materials (USM) through recent investments and partnerships. These strategic moves aim to bolster the company’s ability to meet the material needs of airlines and maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) providers.
The recent investments and partnerships have resulted in a substantial increase in Kellstrom’s inventory of engine and airframe components for various aircraft types, including the CFM International CF6-80C2, CFM56-7B, CFM56-5B, Boeing B737NG, and Airbus A321. These assets are being sourced through disassembling aircraft to address the supply chain challenges currently facing the commercial aftermarket.
“These recent airframe and engine investments and teardowns reflect our dedication to providing exceptional aftermarket solutions to our program customers,” said Michael Garcia, VP of Commercial, Kellstrom Aerospace.
Through these strategic acquisitions and teardowns, Kellstrom Aerospace has strengthened its capabilities in material support. This enhancement allows the company to better serve program customers by offering a wide range of aviation aftermarket solutions, including parts supply, exchanges, and consignment inventory.
