Royal Aero opens first division in the US

By General Aviation News Staff · July 16, 2014 ·

MIESBACH, Germany — As part of the Royal Aero Group’s continued expansion, the company has opened an Airframe Parts division in North Carolina.

This operation is being run by two experienced Airframe Parts managers, Dave Dicken and Ed Thompson, who have recently joined the Royal Aero team. Together Dicken and Thompson have more than 43 years of professional experience, having previously worked for companies such as Volvo Aero Services and Solair (now Kellstrom).

Initially the North Carolina operation will focus on growing the Airframe Parts business and supporting the existing customer base. In addition Royal Aero is seeking to recruit experienced Engine Parts, Engine Leasing and Engineering Consultancy personnel to enhance their engine business in the U.S. market.

The Royal Aero GmbH is one of the largest independent European-based suppliers of surplus OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) parts and procurement services to the aviation industry and an aviation engineering consultancy business.
