Barfield, the U. S. bridgehead of AFI KLM E&M’s global MRO network, has signed a regional distribution agreement with Falgayras, a mechanical, electrical and electronics engineering OEM located in the aviation cluster around Toulouse in southern France. This is an exclusive multi-year agreement involving a selection of Falgayras products, and in particular windscreen wiper systems (wiper arms, blades and motors) fitted as original equipment to many Bombardier CSeries and Mitsubishi MRJ family aircraft, as well as Airbus Helicopter helicopters.
This latest partnership strengthens Barfield’s growth strategy in the area of aircraft component distribution – one of the company’s three businesses along with maintenance services and the supply of Ground Support Test Equipment (GSTE). Barfield already markets a wide range of aircraft parts in the Americas under partnerships with OEMs, including Stelia, Airbus EAP, and Siemens Elta.
