Textron Aviation to Expand Distribution Center
Textron Aviation recently broke ground on its 180,000 square-foot expansion to its parts distribution facility (photo, opposite page). Announced during NBAA-BACE, the project will allow the company to better support customers who own and operate Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker products.
The company said the additional space and capabilities the expansion provides will enable it to continue to invest in inventory to support not only new models but continue to bolster stock levels for other product lines. The expansion will provide additional space for warehouse storage, customer support analysts and offices. It will also enable Textron Aviation to make it easier for customers to conduct business with the company, including a dedicated lane for customers to drop off or pick up parts in person and opportunities for consolidated shipments. The expanded operations additionally provide expedited support to the company’s own Wichita Service Center.
