EirTrade has undergone robust expansion in the last two years following the pandemic ramping up the workforce by almost 140% and juggling ambitious growth strategies by recruiting the right people to turn its vision into reality. According to CEO Ken Fitzgibbon, EirTrade has welcomed new team members across the world from Dallas to Dublin, to Lithuania.
Expansion plans coupled with additional resources have led EirTrade to spearhead four new satellite locations, including one new office and warehouse in Dallas, Texas, with significant expansion in Ireland.
“EirTrade has been ramping up our aircraft disassembly activities at our dedicated facility in Knock, Ireland West, focusing on Airbus and Boeing aircraft,” explained Fitzgibbon. “We work closely with the lessor and airline community across a range of aircraft and have built up an excellent reputation with their technical teams. These relationships have been the catalyst for a steadily increasing volume of work we undertake on their behalf that ensures both the quality and a consistent timely flow of the disassembled assets.”
EirTrade has also increased its warehouse capacity by 115,000 square feet and opened a new engine teardown facility in Dublin.
“This additional capability has given us the capacity to handle over 70 aircraft and engine teardown projects over the past 24 months and raised awareness of our asset management services. We work closely with airlines, MROs, and OEMs to maximise value from our streamlined post-disassembly supply chain for high-value components. We expect to see a huge wave of demand for USM next year and we are well placed to satisfy it,” Ken concluded.
