GXO strengthens Aerospace & Defence logistics presence in Europe with DAP

GXO Logistics, Inc., the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider, announced today that the Distretto Aerospaziale DAP, a leading aerospace association in Italy, has formally ratified its membership. GXO's membership reinforces its mission-critical Aerospace & Defence capabilities and supports its continued growth ambitions.

"Being welcomed into the DAP validates the strength of our capabilities in complex, highly regulated environments," said Marco Galtelli, Business Development Director, GXO Italy & Switzerland. "It reflects the momentum we're building in Aerospace & Defence and our commitment to delivering reliable, mission-critical logistics solutions across the full lifecycle - from production support to sustainment. Piedmont is also a strategic region where we have a longstanding presence, further underscoring the importance of this membership and our connection to a key industrial ecosystem."

Distretto Aerospaziale Piemonte (DAP) is a non-profit association that brings together the scientific and technological excellence of the aerospace sector in Piedmont. Established in 2019 as the evolution of the previous Distretto Aerospaziale Piemonte Committee, active since 2005, it aims to strengthen the aerospace ecosystem by fostering collaboration across the value chain, promoting innovation projects, supporting professional training and research, facilitating access to funding opportunities and enhancing communication across the sector.

GXO has over two decades of experience delivering high-performing, mission-critical aerospace, government and defence logistics services. An industry leader in Aerospace & Defence, GXO provides a broad range of specialised services, including production and assembly support, inbound material management, global spares management, kitting and sequencing, managed transportation and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) response support.

GXO's global aerospace and government footprint includes more than 30 sites supporting mission-critical programmes, with advanced solutions designed to optimise production, increase efficiency and ensure end-to-end visibility across complex supply chains.

GXO's membership in Italy's Distretto Aerospaziale Piemonte builds on its recent formation of a Defence Advisory Board and its participation in the Torus Defence Supply Chain, a UK alliance focused on strengthening the defence sector. GXO's accelerating growth in the aerospace and defence sectors is underpinned by recent agreements with BAE Systems, Pratt & Whitney, an RTX business, and Boeing.
