What Aerospace Logistics does

Aerospace Logistics Limited (ASL) is a UK-based, privately-held aerospace and defense supplier founded in 1979 and headquartered in Horsham, West Sussex. The company specializes in the supply, sourcing, repair, overhaul, and remanufacture of aircraft equipment and components, with a distinctive focus on legacy and obsolete platforms serving military, marine, and mass-transit customers. ASL operates from four sites in the Surrey and Sussex area comprising over 100,000 sq.ft of warehousing stocked with 500,000+ lines of aircraft spare parts, supplemented by an international supply chain network that provides access to millions of additional parts. Its core product pillars are Component Supply (aviation components), Repair and Overhaul services, and Legacy Expertise (an Obsolescence Management Programme), supported by domain-specific capabilities in Air (military aerospace), Sea (marine fleet sustainment), and Land (military vehicles, power generation, mass transit, and ground support systems). The company also designs and manufactures purpose-built test equipment spanning analogue through digital electronics, including valve, transistor, and integrated-circuit technologies.

ASL's customer base spans government and enterprise segments, anchored by the UK Ministry of Defence and a roster of tier-1 aerospace primes including Leonardo, Honeywell, GE Aviation, Rockwell Collins, UTC Aerospace Systems, and Ontic. The business operates a B2B, sales-led, enterprise field-sales go-to-market with relationship-based account management and multi-year contracts priced via custom quotation rather than public price lists. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales of components, professional services for repair and overhaul, and managed services for through-life legacy equipment support. ASL holds the full suite of relevant aerospace quality certifications — AS9100, AS9110, and AS9120 (issued by LRQA with UKAS accreditation) — plus ISO 14001, and maintains active membership in industry bodies including ADS, ASA, FAC, and iiom.
