Aircraft, engines and landing gears trading, leasing, and part-out company, APOC Aviation, has expanded its global sales team with the appointment of four aviation professionals across its landing gear, components and engines divisions, as the company looks to grow its customer base and asset portfolio in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
The new hires are Bill Chen and Dovydas Vaitkevičius in landing gear, Anna Coval in components, and Jarhyd Rees in engines.
APOC Aviation said the appointments bring added sector expertise, commercial experience and customer relationships as demand continues to rise across multiple asset classes.
Based in China, Chen joins as regional sales director for landing gear, Asia-Pacific, bringing more than a decade of experience in Boeing landing gear sales. Also joining the landing gear team is Lithuania-based Vaitkevičius, who takes on the role of landing gear sales manager and will focus on expanding the company’s global customer base, including repair management and exchange programmes.
In the UK, Coval has joined APOC as sales manager for components. She brings more than 15 years’ experience spanning supply chain and sales roles across manufacturing and aviation, and will manage the full sales lifecycle while developing strategic accounts. Rees, also UK-based, joins as sales manager for engines, where he will support customers worldwide, lead engine material sales and align inventory with shop visit demand.
Gavin Simmonds, chief executive of APOC Aviation, said: “The expansion of APOC’s sales team is part of our preparation to meet strong market momentum and rising customer demand across multiple asset classes.
“As airlines and operators focus on sustainability, cost efficiency, and maximising asset life cycles, APOC continues to scale its operations to deliver high quality materials supported by a knowledgeable and responsive service worldwide.”
Chen said: "APOC has consistently demonstrated professionalism and market leading value. I look forward to strengthening our presence across Asia-Pacific and providing customers with reliable solutions for all major aircraft types."
Vaitkevičius said, “APOC’s structured segmentation across core asset classes creates the perfect platform to deliver a high quality service. The landing gear division’s reputation for professionalism and agility aligns strongly with my own values.”
Coval said: “APOC’s dedication to quality, sustainability, and long term partnerships immediately resonated with me. The company’s commitment to responsible teardown and rejuvenation of valuable aviation resources is exactly where the industry is headed.”
Rees said: “APOC’s strong culture and ambitious growth trajectory within the aviation aftermarket immediately stood out. I’m excited to build long-term, trusted partnerships with our customers.”
