Wesco Aircraft Holdings, Inc. announced that it is expanding its product and service offering to include composite management services. This unique offering brings advanced composites with significant value-added services that include highly engineered kits delivered on a just-in-time basis to the company’s existing and expanding customer base. Wesco Composite Management Services will offer process materials and structural pre-impregnated (prepreg) engineered kits to customers in North America through an agreement with Velocity Composites plc. The company also has the opportunity to partner with Velocity in Europe and Asia Pacific to increase value-added services to its global customers. 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 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.
