Satair, an Airbus Services and commercial aerospace aftermarket company, has opened its new Logistics & Service Centre in the Wilhelmsburg area of Hamburg, Germany.

The 56,500 sqm facility is the largest warehouse within Airbus Group to date and will primarily manage tools and large parts (long term storage and kits).

This new facility is Satair’s second in Hamburg, complementing the existing Service & Logistics Centre in Fuhlsbüttel managing small and medium sized parts. Together, these centres operate under an integrated warehouse solution, whish Satair says creates a comprehensive logistics network across both locations.

Thomas Moik, chief operating officer of Satair, said: “This expansion significantly enhances our ability to serve customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in particular, while also reinforcing our global service reach.”

Looking ahead, Satair says it plans to further expand the capabilities of the Wilhelmsburg facility by adding in-house carpentry for customised shipping solutions and introducing tool repair services.
