TP Aerospace Technics

What TP Aerospace Technics does

TP Aerospace Technics is a Danish aircraft wheel and brake aftermarket specialist founded in 2008 and headquartered in Valby (Copenhagen), Denmark. The company operates through three synergistic divisions: Programs (integrated exchange programs such as Cycle Flat Rate (CFR), Wheel Flat Rate (WFR), Land For Less (LFL), and Brake For Less (BFL) tied to flight activity), Components (outright and ad-hoc exchange of serviceable and non-serviceable wheel and brake components with 24/7 AOG support), and Distribution (factory-new OEM wheel and brake piece parts and assemblies supplied through OEM partnerships). The company serves commercial airlines, cargo operators, ACMI specialists, brokers, lessors, and repair facilities worldwide through multi-year contracts anchored by flagship customers such as SAS Scandinavian Airlines, Virgin Australia, Croatia Airlines, and West Atlantic.

The company's underlying technology is a global multi-site aircraft wheel and brake MRO platform with paperless maintenance processes (EASA-approved), an integrated customer-facing portal for component management, and a centralized quality management system certified to AS9120 Rev. B, ISO 9001:2015, and ASA-100. It operates 12+ MRO facilities and warehouses spanning EMEA (Germany, Czech Republic, UK, Denmark), the Americas (United States), and APAC (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia), with regulatory approvals across EASA, FAA, UK CAA, TCCA, CASA, CAAM, CAAS, CAAC, CAAT, and JCAB. The Brno flagship facility delivers an expected 15,000 annual repairs and overhauls, and the new 30,000 sqm Singapore facility anchors APAC operations.

TP Aerospace's revenue is generated through four streams: subscription/recurring Programs contracts (multi-year CFR/WFR/LFL/BFL), transaction-based Components exchanges, hardware sales via the Distribution division, and managed standalone MRO service agreements. As of Q1 2026, the company had 931 aircraft on contract (751 on Programs plus 180 on MRO services), reported Q1 2026 revenue of USD 39.3 million, and grew from a 20 sqm Copenhagen office in 2008 to 12+ global locations. Ownership is concentrated under Danish private equity fund CataCap (majority stake since March 2017) with Kirk Kapital as a secondary investor (since May 2019); the group is financed in part by a USD 130 million senior secured bond issued in March 2025.
