Chandler, United States Reaction Search International (RSI Executive Search) Full time

Reaction Search International is currently representing a client in the USM for Airlines and Aerospace for a Director of Supply Chain:


The Organization:


This company is a leading player in the global air transport aftermarket industry, acting as a comprehensive supply chain partner. It provides a wide range of services, including individual components, complex systems, engines, and custom-tailored solutions. The organization serves airlines, leasing companies, MROs, OEMs, and resellers worldwide, continuously aligning its assets with the needs of customers and vendors across the globe.


The company's in-house technical experts have extensive experience with the components, systems, and engines of the aircraft types they support. Their quality and repair expertise have been proven to meet the requirements of even the strictest customers. Since its foundation, the company has refined its strategy, value proposition, and product offerings to support its customer base effectively.


The company initially focused on purchasing new surplus and obsolete commercial aircraft parts from OEMs and authorized distributors, reselling them to various and diverse customers within the Aerospace Aftermarket industry. However, through a strategic acquisition, the organization shifted its focus to support the Used Serviceable Material (USM) market and the global air transport industry.


This strategic shift began with the nose-to-tail support of specific aircraft families and transformed the company from a parts wholesaler into a global supply chain leader. Over the years, the company has expanded its service offerings to include various aircraft types, engines, and APUs, aligning with market demands.


Today, the company operates from a state-of-the-art facility, holding ISO 9001:2015, AS9120B:2016, and ASA-100 accreditations, ensuring the highest level of quality for its customers.
