Topcast Aviation Supplies (TOPCAST), aircraft parts distributor and MRO, has signed a five-year distributor agreement with Honeywell Aerospace, covering the exclusive distribution of Nitrogen Generation Systems (NGS) and sensors components in China.
By pioneering NGS, Honeywell Aerospace is the first fully FAA-certified fuel tank inerting solution for commercial aircraft. The NGS, consisting of a thermal control system, an air separation module system and a control system, delivers nitrogen-enriched air (NEA) to the aircraft center wing fuel tank, significantly reducing the oxygen content in the tank to ensure an inert atmosphere. The system installation can minimize fuel tank igniting sources, flammability exposure and prevent catastrophic fuel tank explosions under high pressure or overtemperature.
Paul Nef, Strategic Account Director Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, commented “TOPCAST was first appointed as an exclusive distributor of Honeywell B737NG mechanical parts in April 2021 for all China-based airline customers. Since that time, we have appreciated TOPCAST’s strong performance in sales of parts and relationships with customer airlines. This new appointment of NGS and sensors is an expansion of their exclusive distributorship in the assigned territory. We look forward to continuing and exploring further opportunities through our collaboration with TOPCAST.”
“Honeywell has been a leading integrator of NGS for more than a decade. It’s our greatest pleasure to strengthen our partnership with Honeywell Aerospace after five months of initial collaboration on the exclusive B737 product line. This addition is a testament to the affirmative cooperation for both parties,” said TOPCAST’s Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Business Development, Craig Winfrey. “We are pleased to have these two exclusive lines on board to strengthen our position as the leading distributor in Asia. At TOPCAST, we continue to pursue a customer-centric approach by supplying top-tier solutions and products to exceed their expectations.”
