Blue Raven

Blue Raven is a supply chain partner for the aerospace and defense industries. It is based in Morristown, New Jersey, and supplies parts to customers around the world.

The company was formed by joining two businesses. Triman is its authorized distribution arm. CTG is its specialized sourcing arm. Both moved fully to the Blue Raven name. Blue Raven says the two businesses give it an end-to-end offer for mission-critical programs.

Blue Raven supplies parts and highly engineered systems for new programs. It also sources hard-to-find legacy parts for operational and older platforms. Its customers include procurement offices, program managers and fleet operators.

The company runs its own intelligence platform, called SEDNA. The platform watches demand signals and flags changes in the supply chain. It also gives forecasts and predictive insight to support daily operations.

Counterfeit avoidance is a major focus. Blue Raven keeps an in-house inspection lab. It applies traceability standards, certified inspection steps and full paperwork checks to every part.

It also manages obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources. This helps extend the life of aging fleets and lowers risk. Kitting, inventory and logistics services aim to cut aircraft-on-ground events across fleets with several platforms.

The company has staff with experience in defense buying, logistics and program management. It belongs to industry groups, including the Aviation Suppliers Association, the National Defense Industrial Association, the Army Aviation Association of America and the International Institute of Obsolescence Management.
