Barfield has appointed Sebastien Losy to the position of vice president of ground support test equipment (GSTE), trading and distribution.

Losy joined Barfield almost 20 years ago and has held a variety of different positions.

In his new role, Losy will have the main responsibility for leading, expanding and solidifying Barfield’s market standing in the design, manufacturing and repair of “highly reliable, user-friendly and innovative” test equipment.

He will also oversee Barfield’s trading and distribution department to optimise the sale of LRU and piece parts (surplus), as well as solidify Barfield’s current relationships with European OEMs and to expand its network throughout the Americas.

Barfield is a subsidiary of Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFI KLM E&M) in the Americas.

“Sebastien, as an important member of the Barfield management team, will bring a different perspective to this department as we continue to transform and adapt to today’s competitive environment,” said Barfield’s chief executive officer Herve Page.

“Sebastien is the best choice to take the business unit to the next level and to optimise our global footprint in the manufacturing, sale and repair of ground support test equipment.”
