Hong Kong-based aircraft parts distributor Topcast has announced a new distributor agreement with textile manufacturer AmSafe Bridport as it aims to enhance its commercial after-market products for air cargo service providers in Asia Pacific.

The supplier tie-up is expected to expand the company’s product portfolio to provide approved and certified cargo restraints and protection systems for commercial aviation, including, bellyhold and bulk cargo nets, barrier nets and cargo liner panels.

“Partnership with AmSafe Bridport is a key mileage for our cargo product portfolio. Together we trust our customers can enjoy more choices to move, lift, deliver, protect or restrain their cargo services,” said Craig Winfrey, vice president, corporate strategy and business development. “We commit to deliver value-added services to the market and we are honoured to support the current strong demand in air cargo in the midst of pandemic,” he added.

Topcast adds that the partnership is well equipped to meet the demands of major aircraft OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), including Airbus, Boeing, Sukhoi, and Embraer.

“As a business, we constantly strive to increase service levels and customer satisfaction, which was one of the key motivators behind this new structure,” said Joe Ashton, vice president, sales and marketing at AmSafe Bridport, adding that the company is working on some ‘interesting’ new product innovations and services for its global clientele.

UK-based AmSafe Bridport boasts 40 years of after-market experience, and with its customer service focus, this new strategic partnership can promote mutual benefits to build a more comprehensive collaboration opportunity in the after-market spares arena, Topcast added.
