SR Technics to consolidate component services activities
SR Technics has announced plans to consolidate its component services organisation, and all supporting functions currently performed at London-Stansted, in Zurich.
The company says the move will allow it to improve further its operational efficiency and productivity to lower operational costs.
SR Technics will continue to operate its line maintenance business in the UK through its current line station network and will maintain and develop its logistics operations in the UK. It plans to consolidate all logistics operations at the current London-Heathrow logistics centre.
Bernd Kessler, CEO of SR Technics, commented, “At the heart of the ongoing reorganisation is our aim to raise our efficiency, lower our Group’s overall operational costs and to further develop our operational capabilities, service offerings and global footprint. By achieving these objectives, we will tangibly improve our competitiveness and the service we provide to our customers.
“Management will work closely with the unions and employee representatives to support all employees affected by these plans at London-Stansted,” Kessler added.
