Aero C&E

Aero C&E supplies consumables and expendables for aviation. The company is based in Wimborne, Dorset, in the United Kingdom. Its work covers everything from small fasteners to safety equipment. The company says its aim is to simplify the aerospace supply chain and reduce operating costs.

The company supplies parts for operators and maintenance organisations. It says parts come with the right traceability and with OEM, EASA or FAA certification when needed. The website says its services are supported by a quality management system. Kitted parts are factory new or come with EASA Form 1 or FAA 8130 airworthiness certificates.

Consignment services keep stock at the customer's facility. This means the customer does not tie up money in inventory. Just in time services guarantee stock availability, with fixed pricing terms and stock profiling. The website says these services can also reduce shipping costs and the number of vendors a customer needs.

Kitting services provide multi part kits. These are for A checks, engines, line maintenance and landing gear. Surplus services can buy redundant inventory outright or run consignment programmes for it. The company says it can turn dead stock into funding for new projects.

The company has a small team of 11 people. Its core roles include two directors, a business development manager, a head of sales and a head of procurement. The website says customers can speak to the team directly by phone. It describes its approach as direct communication with no chatbots.

Aero C&E is a member of the Aviation Suppliers Association. The website lists company, environmental, diversity and equal opportunities policies. Customers can reach sales, purchasing and accounts teams by email.
