AAR has signed a multi-year extension of its exclusive global distribution agreement with Collins Aerospace, an RTX business. The agreement includes the company’s Goodrich de-icing and specialty systems product line.
The collaboration supports Collins Aerospace’s strategy to streamline aftermarket distribution by leveraging AAR’s global logistics network to serve customers across the general aviation, commercial, and defence markets.
“AAR is proud to continue delivering availability, responsiveness, and technical support to the wide range of customers who rely on Collins Aerospace Goodrich de-icing solutions,” said Frank Landrio, SVP of distribution at AAR.
“Our execution and ability to gain market share have resulted in tremendous growth of this product line.”
On Monday (December 8), AAR announced a multi-year extension of its exclusive global distribution agreement with Arkwin Industries.
The agreement covers Arkwin’s actuation, valve, and reservoir products on various engine and airframe platforms for the commercial aviation aftermarket.
Both extensions follow the closing of AAR’s acquisition of HAECO Americas, which was announced last month, in an all-cash $78 million transaction.
The acquisition, which includes $850 million of sales contracts with “key customers”, creates a major force in the US MRO sector.
