Satair and Eaton extend global distribution agreement

Airbus Services company Satair and Eaton have signed a contract to renew their exclusive global distribution agreement for a multi-year period.

According to Satair, it will distribute Eaton’s fuel and motion control products from Eaton’s Grand Rapids, Euclid and Titchfield-based facilities to the commercial transport segment.

Eaton delivers a range of reliable and fuel-efficient systems for today’s commercial aircraft, including Airbus and Boeing platforms. The company’s aerospace portfolio includes engine fuel pumps, fuel distribution and vent systems and motion control solutions, all designed to optimise safety, reliability and weight savings while helping customers lower lifecycle costs and reduce emissions.

Satair says the companies entered into an agreement in 2010 which marked a change in the dynamics of the support structure for Eaton’s fuel and motion control products, going from direct support of commercial aftermarket customers to support through Satair’s global distribution network.

“We are pleased to renew this agreement and enhance our close relationship with Eaton. We look forward to continuing to deliver world-class products to our customers across the world,“ said Bart Reijnen, CEO of Satair.

Mark Schmidt, Vice President, Aftermarket for Eaton’s Aerospace Group commented: “The extension of this agreement will ensure a solid foundation for further enhancement of the customer-focused service and support already provided to our mutual customers.”
