Textron Aviation is celebrating a decade of service at its European Distribution Center (EUDC) in Düsseldorf, Germany. The facility supplies customers across Europe and the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. Since its opening, it has grown into the company’s second-largest parts distribution center, handling more than 50% of orders for customers in these regions.
The 21,500-sq-ft (2,000-sq-m) facility stocks more than 20,000 SKUs, ensuring same-day shipments and minimizing aircraft downtime. As the center has expanded, shipment volume has increased year over year.
“Since opening, our European Distribution Center has doubled in size, added a customer support parts and warranty team, and quadrupled inventory value to continue providing unrivaled support in region,” said global parts distribution senior v-p Brad White. “Most recently, EUDC has increased stock keeping units (SKUs) by 40%, supporting less downtime for our customers and bolstering our commitment to provide the most robust services in the industry.”
The EUDC offers factory-direct support, maintenance, and modifications for Beechcraft, Cessna, and Hawker aircraft. In 2024, the center introduced a state-of-the-art training center. With more than 150,000 unique part numbers in stock and a team of over 600 professionals, Textron Aviation’s global network provides delivery of parts across more than 115 countries worldwide.
“The growth we have implemented at EUDC is based on customer feedback and our commitment to design and deliver the best aviation experience for our global customer base,” said White. “The EUDC team is passionate about supporting Textron Aviation Parts’ global customer base and providing them with 24/7 support, ensuring our customers keep their aircraft flying with minimal downtime.”
