Consistent with the company’s commitment to sustainability, the project features energy-saving LED lighting and high-efficiency systems, and process improvements that will consolidate shipments and reduce vehicle travel by an estimated 40,000 miles annually.

The company expects the project to begin later this month and be completed by the end of 2023. The new footprint includes room for warehouse space, an extension of the existing mezzanine structure for parts storage and offices and additional room for dedicated customer support analysts. PEC Engineering and GLMV Architecture designed the facility and CONCO Construction will complete the project. All companies are local to Textron Aviation’s headquarters and the expanded facility in Wichita, Kansas.

Textron Aviation has seven distribution centers and 17 stockrooms around the globe. This Wichita location houses more than 120,000 parts and employs a team of more than 350 people to support distribution operations.
