Eaton Extends Exclusive Global Distribution Agreement with Satair to Strengthen Aerospace Fuel Components Supply Chain
Intelligent power management leader Eaton Corporation has announced the long-term extension of its exclusive global distribution agreement with Satair, one of the world’s leading aviation aftermarket service providers. The renewed partnership, signed during MRO Europe 2025, underscores Eaton’s continued trust in Satair’s global reach, logistics expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction. The agreement ensures the continued worldwide distribution of a wide range of commercial fuel components and piece parts manufactured at Eaton’s Titchfield facility in the United Kingdom.
This renewal marks another significant milestone in Eaton and Satair’s long-standing partnership, which has consistently demonstrated operational excellence and customer-focused performance. For years, the two companies have worked together to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and global accessibility of Eaton’s aerospace fuel systems and components—key parts used in a broad array of commercial aircraft platforms.
A Long-Term Partnership Rooted in Reliability
The collaboration between Eaton and Satair is not new; it has evolved through decades of shared goals, innovation, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Eaton’s aerospace division, known for its precision engineering and advanced fuel systems, has relied on Satair to manage the logistics, inventory, and aftermarket distribution of its commercial fuel components to operators and maintenance facilities around the world.
With this renewed agreement, Satair will continue to act as Eaton’s exclusive global distributor, ensuring that customers in every region—whether airlines, maintenance repair organizations (MROs), or parts suppliers—have dependable access to Eaton-manufactured components. This guarantees a consistent supply chain, reduced lead times, and enhanced service levels across all markets.
Eaton’s Titchfield, UK, facility has long served as the manufacturing hub for several critical aerospace fuel products. The plant’s advanced production capabilities, combined with Satair’s robust global logistics network, create a powerful synergy that supports thousands of aircraft worldwide. Together, the two companies have built a reputation for unmatched reliability, product availability, and customer trust in the highly regulated aerospace industry.
Strengthening Global Support for Aircraft Operators
The aviation industry continues to evolve rapidly, with airlines and MROs demanding faster turnaround times, improved parts traceability, and more efficient procurement processes. In this context, Eaton’s decision to renew and extend its distribution partnership with Satair demonstrates a proactive commitment to customer service excellence and supply chain resilience.
Through Satair’s established global footprint—comprising multiple regional distribution centers, 24/7 customer support, and a digital parts ordering ecosystem—operators will benefit from seamless access to Eaton components wherever they operate. This continuity reduces the risk of supply disruptions and helps airlines maintain high operational readiness in a cost-effective manner.
Matt Norman, Vice President of Aftermarket and Commercial Services at Eaton’s Aerospace Group, emphasized the importance of Satair’s role in sustaining Eaton’s global aftermarket presence.
“Satair’s understanding of Eaton’s customers and markets, combined with their top-notch distribution and logistics expertise, ensures we continue to deliver the exceptional service our customers expect,” Norman said.
