SEKO Logistics has launched an aerospace-and-aviation branch and appointed Bryan Lowrie as its managing director.

“This is a market in which you only make your mark once you’ve earned the trust of the customers and that is what we have been doing over recent years,” said Lowie, based in Dallas. “Customers don’t buy from you unless they know you because in the aerospace industry trust in a logistics company is not an insignificant thing. If you have a production line building a plane, a ripple effect is caused if someone is late. Customers need the supply chain to be precise and they must be kept well-informed.”

SEKO works with both aerospace manufacturers and operators around the world, and has therefore also set up centres of excellence in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.

Lowrie added that SEKO helps customers drive down costs by using technology which enhances visibility of all shipments.

“It’s no longer about saving pennies per kg, but guiding the customer in making better logistics decisions that avoid the problem of excess inventory or the deferment of VAT in the EU,” he said. “Combining this proven capability with a competent and operationally sound global team of professional logisticians is what separates SEKO Aerospace & Aviation from our competition.”

SEKO also has verticals serving the retail, medical, automotive, energy, government industrial, technology and events industries.
