Marsh Brothers Aviation is expanding to Europe through a distribution agreement with Aviation Parts Services (APS) in Germany. Through the agreement, APS will market and sell to end-users and MROs Marsh Brothers’ polymer bearings and seals that support the general aviation sector.

Until now, Canada-based Marsh Brothers has focused its business on developing lightweight, non-metallic, self-lubricating bearing and sealing solutions for light aircraft and general aviation in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Uses of Marsh Brothers’ polymer bearings include landing gear pneumatic struts, landing gear structures, hydraulic actuators, flight controls, and passenger and cargo door hinge bushings and rollers. The company’s recently expanded product lines support Mooney, Cirrus, Cessna, Beechcraft King Air, and Beech 1900 aircraft.

“APS is a well-known European aviation parts distributor,” said Marsh Brothers business development manager Juan Rivera. “Its European reach and positive reputation in the EU aviation industry makes APS a very good fit for us. We envision a very strong partnership that will add value for both companies as we mutually pursue future growth in the general and regional aviation markets."
