Marsh Brothers Aviation signed an agreement with Aviation Parts Services, in which Aviation Parts Services will market and sell all Marsh Brothers’ product lines like advanced polymer bearings and seals in the European market. Aviation Parts Services is headquartered in Germany with facilities in Belgium and Serbia. This agreement aligns with Marsh Brother’s growth strategy to expand into the European aviation market.

Wolfgang Dillbaum-Alexius, General Manager, Aviation Parts Services said, “APS is delighted to be part of Marsh Brothers’ European expansion. We expect to develop a significant presence in Europe for Marsh Brothers’ polymer technology. There’s great potential in Europe as general aviation is booming. Flying hours have increased. The pre-owned aircraft market is very strong. Better still, Marsh Brothers support aircraft platforms with hard-to-find parts. We have very strong synergies that will benefit European customers.”

Juan Rivera, Marsh Brothers’ Business Development Manager, said: “We are incredibly excited at the opportunities that this partnership presents.  APS is a well-known European aviation parts distributor. Its European reach and positive reputation in the EU aviation industry make APS a very good fit for us. We envision a very strong partnership that will add value for both companies as we mutually pursue future growth in the general and regional aviation markets.  The strength of our value proposition and our proprietary engineered polymers gives APS something that no other company has to offer in Europe. This partnership aligns precisely with our growth strategy. We consider APS a key part of that plan.”

Marsh Brothers Aviation has decades of experience and success developing innovative lightweight, non-metallic, self-lubricating bearing and sealing solutions for the light aircraft and general aviation markets. Its products have improved aircraft reliability and maintainability. Typical applications for their polymer bearings include landing gear pneumatic struts (bearings, dynamic seals and piston wipers), landing gear structures (link bushings), hydraulic actuators (seals, glands, piston rod wipers), flight controls (hinge bushings, rollers), passenger and cargo door hinge bushings and rollers.

With a focus on Canada and US markets, Marsh Brothers recently expanded its product lines to support Mooney, Cirrus, Cessna, King Air and Beech 1900 platforms, offering these aircraft owners the opportunity to reduce maintenance time and costs.
