Boeing has announced the opening of its third distribution center in Germany, strengthening the company’s regional service footprint and customer support capacity.

On more than 4,500 square meters (~50,000 square feet), the new distribution center located in the city of Dormagen, will store more than 9,000 unique parts for Boeing aircraft, including large items such as landing gear components.

Major airline customers in Europe benefit from shorter parts delivery times, enabling quicker repairs as well as maintenance and overhaul work to keep airplanes in service.

The new Germany warehouse is one of nine distribution centers around the world dedicated to holding and shipping spare parts specifically for Boeing’s commercial customers.

Richard Cawston, chief revenue officer, GXO said, “We are proud to extend our collaboration with Boeing to Germany, following our longstanding partnership in the U.S., affirming our proven expertise providing logistics services to the aerospace and defense industry. The warehouse in Dormagen is ideally located near the Cologne and Düsseldorf airports to ensure a seamless flow of deliveries to Boeing customers.”

Boeing’s Cologne Distribution Center is expected to ship around 30,000 parts this year. Primarily set up to support major European airlines, it will serve all Boeing commercial airplane customers. The facility operates in partnership with third-party logistics provider GXO.
