Through this acquisition, we are solidifying our market position as a significant player in the circular economy for used aircraft components and spare parts,” said Martin Franke, Partner at Borromin.

As part of this transaction, aviationscouts GmbH will also acquire 100 percent of the shares in B2L GmbH & Co. KG., the June 19 press release said.
B2L specializes in the upcycling of used aircraft parts and accessories. The company has successfully grown from a startup to a leading provider in the DACH region in recent years. Under the leadership of Aerotec Europe Holding GmbH, both companies aim for a sustainable further development of their business model and an expansion of their global presence.
