Boeing has opened its third distribution centre in Dormagen, Germany, enhancing its service capabilities and support for European customers. The new Dormagen facility spans over 4,500 square metres and will house more than 9,000 unique spare parts for Boeing aircraft, including larger components such as landing gear.
The centre will help reduce delivery times for major airline customers across Europe, supporting quicker repairs and more efficient maintenance and overhaul operations. It forms part of Boeing's global strategy to strengthen its supply chain through regional investments, and is one of nine dedicated commercial spare parts centres worldwide.
“Our new logistics and spare parts centre in Dormagen joins our existing distribution services operations in Norderstedt and Henstedt-Ulzburg,” said Dr Michael Haidinger, President of Boeing Germany. “With this new site, we are doubling down on our commitment to the German aerospace community, our customers and local partners.”
Stocked with high-demand items, the Dormagen site—also referred to as the Cologne Distribution Centre—is expected to ship approximately 30,000 parts this year. Though focused on serving major European airlines, it will support all Boeing commercial aircraft operators. The centre is operated in partnership with logistics provider GXO.
“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,” said Richard Cawston, Chief Revenue Officer, GXO. “The warehouse in Dormagen is ideally located near the Cologne and Düsseldorf airports to ensure a seamless flow of deliveries to Boeing customers.”
