Wesco Aircraft Holdings Announces New Composite Management Services Offering
Wesco Composite Management Services will offer process materials and structural pre-impregnated (prepreg) engineered kits to customers in
The addition of composite materials complements Wesco’s already broad portfolio of aerospace products and services, which includes C-class hardware, chemicals and electronic components. Wesco will deliver fully scalable solutions, utilizing its premier logistics, warehousing and supply chain solutions and Velocity’s custom kitting process through point-of-use delivery. The newly formed partnership will invest in a state-of-the-art clean room and utilize Velocity’s proprietary nesting technology within Wesco’s U.S. distribution network.
The global aerospace composite materials market is expected to continue expanding at a high rate, driven largely by higher aircraft build rates, a multiyear aircraft backlog and an increasing composite content by weight in aircraft. Aircraft light-weighting with composite materials reduces cost per passenger mile, reduces emissions and enables ultra-long-range flight paths.
