AE Petsche will manage the requirements of all programme partners to ensure optimum stocking levels and timely distribution.
According to Tom Sharp, Gore's JSF programme manager, Gore entered into this partnership because of A. E. Petsche's proven ability to address customer requirements quickly and effectively. “Our commitment to the JSF F-35 Lightning program is well established through many years of support,” explained Sharp. “This alignment addresses emerging needs to provide value-added services that extend beyond the physical product. And one of the most significant benefits of this partnership is that these additional services will come without any increase in cost to the customer.”
Glenn Davidson, CEO of AE Petsche, said the company will stock JSF/F-35 products in the US as well as in Europe, meeting demand through its widely recognised Zero-Base inventory programme, which provides customers reliable material flow and consistent quality.
“Our customers depend on us to be solution providers,” Davidson stated. “Through this partnership with WL Gore, adding F-35 Lightning products to our existing product range will provide just-in-time delivery solutions for this important programme.”
