Vykor Affiliate Network (VAN) Supplier Program Grows to Over 100 Members
Paris, Paris Air Show (ots/PRNewswire)
Vykor Inc., the leading provider of on-demand Engineered Parts Management (EPM(TM)) solutions, today announced that the Vykor Affiliate Network (VAN) supplier partnership program has surpassed 100 member companies. VAN comprises a growing network of aerospace and process equipment machining and fabrication suppliers who provide engineered parts to many of the world's leading manufacturing companies.
Major aerospace procurement organizations are leveraging the Vykor EPM platform to make informed, strategic decisions about where to best source work packages across their increasingly complex supplier networks. Vykor's solutions bring six sigma standardization and variability reduction to the sourcing process in order to improve visibility, lower risk and reduce costs.
VAN members are able to promote their unique capabilities more broadly to procurement organizations, opening doors to potential new business around the world. "Being part of the Vykor VAN program enabled a large aerospace OEM to gain immediate visibility into our capabilities, and as a result, invite us to bid on a package of large aluminum spars. It's nice when new customers come to us with work that fits directly in our strike zone," said Paul Gonzalez, Contracts / Program Manager of Astro Spar Inc.
"U.S. customers are actively seeking new global sources, especially in order to increase market access," said Rob Eleveld, Vykor CEO. "We are opening our VAN program to these global suppliers." Vykor will also be partnering with sheet metal and composites capabilities starting next month. VAN membership is free to qualified suppliers.
