Gloucestershire business signs major deal with US aerospace giant

A Gloucestershire business has signed a major deal with US aerospace giant Boeing.

Ontic has signed a deal which will see the company become the exclusive distributor of approximately 600 actuation and control products on a range of civil and military aircraft platforms.

Boeing’s distribution portfolio for Ontic also includes fuel controls, memory wheel device, interior electronic and wipers product lines, and business and general aviation (BA/GA) displays.

The new, three-year agreement expands Boeing’s relationship with Ontic.

“We are excited to reach an agreement with Ontic to once again offer these products to our customers,” said Travis Sullivan, vice president and general manager, Distribution Services.

“We are in a unique position to lead in this dynamic market by leveraging Boeing’s global network and platform-agnostic aftermarket capability to support various markets and platforms, along with our previous experience supporting the Staverton product line.”

Matthew Pritchard, director of customer engagement, Ontic, said: “Every day, our customers across the world depend on Ontic parts to execute their operations effectively. By expanding our long-term agreement with Boeing, we are ensuring that our valued customers continue to have access to the parts they need, when they need them.

“At Ontic, we recognize the importance of quality, part availability and reduced lead times. We are confident that our partnership with Boeing will help us improve the customer experience, while we continue to focus on investing in ongoing sustainment and the seamless integration of our recent Triumph acquisition in Staverton, where these product lines are expertly managed.”
