Horix Aerospace Ltd

Horix Aerospace is a Swiss company that manages spare parts for the business aircraft market. It is based in Quartino, in the Ticino area of Switzerland. The company is Swiss owned and run.

Horix calls itself a horizontally integrated aerospace company. It says it is strongly capitalised and managed by a team of industry veterans. A company blog post says it has more than USD 30 million in assets under management.

The company runs four programs. The Trust Consignment Program lets owners hand over parts for a fixed fee, with no logistics fees. The aim is to turn parts that sit as a burden into useful assets. The Trust Dismantling Program is for aircraft that are worth less than the owner hoped, or where engine overhaul costs are high.

The Inventory Purchase Program is for companies that hold a stock of spare parts to sell. They send in a list and Horix gives an estimate. The Inventory Appraisal Program finds the real value of stock. The company says it is often used when a company goes bankrupt.

Horix says it wants a clear, open relationship with the owners who consign parts, and a trust relationship with its clients. The team says it has dealt with traders before and knows the worries a company may have before it signs a consignment agreement. It tries to meet those worries up front.

Horix is certified to AS9120B and ISO 9001:2015 for the distribution of aircraft components, spare parts, lubricants and related products. The company has a marketplace section with free downloads, a mailing list and a blog. Posts cover topics such as the IA9120 standard, consignment agreements and surplus parts certificates.
