B&H Worldwide acquires Founders Logistics

UK-based aviation logistics provider B&H Worldwide has acquired Founders Logistics, a Los Angeles, California-based company that specialises in transporting aircraft engines. Founders Logistics handles engine moves by ground, standard air freight, next flight out, on-board courier and air charter, and also offers customs clearance and warehousing. It tracks shipments with sensors and reports an annual on-time delivery rate of 99.2 percent.

“Founders Logistics has built an outstanding reputation in this specialised field,” said Stuart Allen, chairman of B&H Worldwide. “Bringing Founders Logistics into the B&H Worldwide family combines its specialist engine transportation expertise with our global network.”

B&H Worldwide, headquartered at Heathrow, London, has worked exclusively in aviation and aerospace logistics for more than 30 years. Its customers include airlines, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers, lessors and engine manufacturers. The company runs aircraft-on-ground (AOG) and critical logistics centres in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Oceania, and offers engine storage alongside transport.

Cristhian Contador, president of Founders Logistics, said the deal would allow the company to extend its reach while keeping its existing service. “Our customers entrust us with assets that are critical to their operations, and we take that responsibility extremely seriously,” he said.
