Michelin and Aviall, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company, announced their plans to collaborate and create a worldwide strategic agreement which will align the former’s aircraft tyre business with the latter’s global distribution footprint.
This initiative will result in improved logistics and supply chain models which will improve service to FBOs (field-base operator), MROs (maintenance, repair & overhaul), and fleet operators around the globe.
Commenting on the agreement, Frank Moreau, President of Michelin Aircraft Tire, said: “We have always been a partner with Aviall, but this strategic initiative will allow us to improve our efficiencies in getting ourtyres to the market and growing our business.”
Eric Strafel, Aviall President & CEO, added: “This strategic collaboration will aid our efforts of expanding our market reach through key alliances. We are very pleased to continue and grow our long-standing relationship with Michelin to better serve our customers.”
