Farsound Aviation (Farsound) has announced the opening of its new state-of-the-art facility in San Antonio, Texas this summer.

The new state-of-the-art premises in San Antonio will serve as a base for all Farsound’s activities in the Americas, from bespoke MRO supply chain services to aero engine parts logistics. The initial facility will occupy approximately 28,000 ft² of specialist warehousing and office facilities.

This expansion follows the appointment of new Farsound President U.S.A., Matt Berkebile, who will be based out of the new facility. Matt will oversee plans for growth across the U.S.A. to develop Farsound’s reputation and market reach in the lucrative global MRO and aviation sectors.

Matt Berkebile, President Farsound USA, said: “Opening this exciting new facility in San Antonio is an enormous milestone for Farsound. It supports our ambitious plans to strengthen our presence in the U.S. market and grow our reputation for excellence, customer service and innovation in the global aviation industry.”
