Satair Group opens new Airbus aftermarket centralised kitting centre

Satair Group has inaugurated an additional centralised aftermarket kitting centre at Hamburg to add significant extra capacity to its already impressive kit marshalling capability for Airbus aircraft and to achieve another milestone in the logistic & supply chain history of Airbus and Satair Group. Opened on March 13, 2017, Satair Group’s Kit Factory Unit 2 sits adjacent to the original Kit Factory Unit 1 which opened in January 2015 and which, for the first time, consolidated all kit marshalling activities from all Airbus European sites at one centralised location. The new Kit Factory Unit 2 adds an additional 5,300 m² of warehousing to the 10,000 m² Kit Factory Unit 1 to enable Satair Group to further improve its overall logistic process. This means that Satair Group will be able to more than double kit delivery performance to 110,000 kits a year in 2017, while the yearly stock picking performance will double from 1,000,000 this year to 2,000,000 over the next five years.
