Provider of aircraft parts and components to the global commercial aerospace market, Unical Aviation, has announced its acquisition of aircraft storage, disassembly and transition services provider, ecube Solutions.

Unical says the acquisition marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing expansion across Europe, the Middle East,and Africa (EMEA) and reinforces its commitment to delivering worldwide comprehensive aviation solutions.

With bases in the UK, Spain and the US, ecube will operate as an independent unit within the Unical Group, retaining its identity and autonomy and continuing to operate under its established name.

Sharon Green, chief executive of Unical, said: “This acquisition aligns perfectly with our growth strategy of being a trusted partner for aircraft parts and services worldwide, and it enables us to provide enhanced support to customers across the EMEA region and beyond through an independently operated, high-class provider.

“We look forward to building on the strengths of both companies to deliver even greater value and service excellence to our joint customers as well as our respective customer bases.”

Lee McConnellogue, ecube’s chief executive, said: “Unical has always been an important partner to ecube, and we are excited about what’s to come as a combined entity, with our customers, partners and people at the very centre of our exciting growth plans.

“I believe that the shared capability of our two companies, in one of the most important sectors of the aerospace market, only serves to make it stronger. Now we are able to provide a truly end-to-end service to aircraft owners, on a global basis.”

Green added: “While Unical will provide overarching support and resources as needed, ecube will continue to develop and implement its own strategic plans, guided by the expertise of its existing management team.”
