Gulfstream’s European parts distribution center moved
Savannah-based Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently moved its European parts distribution center to a facility near London’s Heathrow Airport.
The center houses high-usage items commonly required by international customers and provides rapid-response support to Gulfstream’s service center less than an hour away at London Luton Airport.
“There are more direct, non-stop flights from Heathrow than any other airport in Europe, so we can get parts and materials to customers faster than ever,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “In addition, the warehouse’s proximity to Gulfstream Luton enables us to supplement the parts we have there.”
Gulfstream has started stocking parts at the new distribution center, which is approximately 8,000 square feet. The center is expected to have more than $50 million in inventory by the end of 2015.
In the last six years, Gulfstream’s European fleet has grown from 109 aircraft to more than 200.
