FL Technics and Future Metals to launch a joint spare parts stock in Europe
FL Technics, a global provider of one-stop-shop aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services, has expanded its cooperation with a leading supplier of aerospace metals and other materials – Future Metals – by agreeing to set up a stock of metal products in Vilnius, Lithuania.
Back in 2015, the US-headquartered Future Metals appointed FL Technics as its exclusive representative in 12 countries across Central Europe and Central Asia. Over the two-year long cooperation with FL Technics, Future Metals doubled its sales in the region.
In order to further expand the availability of quality metal products for airlines and MROs in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other target countries, the parties agreed to establish a joint stock of aircraft metals and other specialty items such as seat tracks, seat track covers, welding rod, safety wire, flight control cables and more. The stock will be established at and managed by FL Technics in Vilnius, Lithuania.
“Aviation is all about sharing. I am glad that our unique sales network in the CIS region brought benefits both to us and Future Metals, and I thank our partners for the trust in us. Moreover, we are certain that with a Lithuania-based stock of Future Metals’ products, we will be able to offer our customers in the region even wider and faster metal supply solutions,” commented Zilvinas Lapinskas, CEO of FL Technics.
