Supply chain and logistics solutions specialist Farsound will open a new facility in San Antonio in Texas this summer.

Described as a “state-of-the-art” the facility will become the base for all Farsound’s activities in the Americas, from bespoke MRO supply chain services to aero engine parts logistics.

Farsound said it will enhance the services it offers to its customers across the US. The initial facility will occupy approximately 28,000 sq ft of specialist warehousing and office facilities.

The announcement follows the appointment of new Farsound President US, Matt Berkebile, who will be based in the San Antonio facility. He will drive growth plans across the US.

Berkebile 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 US market and grow our reputation for excellence, customer service and innovation in the global aviation industry.”

As well as the new San Antonio facility Farsound also has bases in the UK, Canada, Spain, Japan and Singapore.
