Chris Knott, Farsound’s CEO, said: “The launch of our warehouse in Texas is a significant milestone in our long-term global expansion plans, and we’re thrilled to see it come to life this month. The acquisition and development of this facility highlight our dedication to seizing opportunities that enhance our strong reputation in the American aviation parts distribution and MRO sectors. I want to extend my sincere thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in making this launch a reality.”

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.
