Matt Berkebile, President of Farsound USA, added: “The American market for aircraft parts has seen industry revenue grow consistently over recent years and will continue to do so in the future.”

Driven by ongoing global demand in the aviation sector for new parts and mandatory maintenance services, Farsound has experienced steady growth in the U.S. and internationally over the past few years. Last year, Farsound’s UK team moved into an expanded, purpose-built headquarters in Essex to support this growth. Additionally, the company has recently added new warehousing and customer service facilities in Madrid, Spain, and Canada.
