APOC Aviation has announced the appointment of Carlos Miguel Branco Sandels to the role of Business Development Manager.
Known for successfully developing new customer portfolios in highly competitive markets, Sandels comments: “My role at APOC is to expand our commercial footprint across Europe, and globally, by strengthening our relationships with airlines, MROs and strategic partners. I will also be actively identifying new opportunities for component support, teardown programmes, asset acquisition, and material solutions.
“I approach every business relationship with a reciprocal mindset, aiming to create partnerships where both sides benefit and grow together. Above all, my goal is to accelerate APOC’s entry into new markets, expand its networks, and position the Company as a trusted supplier with more operators worldwide.”
Sandels explains that it was APOC’s culture and the existing team that attracted him to the role. “In a market facing constant supply chain disruptions and an increasing global demand for high quality, serviceable components, what truly stood out to me is APOC’s ability to respond quickly and effectively to these challenges. The Company has a practical, forward looking approach to material sourcing and teardown strategy, which is essential at a time when operators are struggling to secure reliable components to keep aircraft in service.”
Craig Skilton, VP Components, at APOC concludes: “Carlos has a strong network and a clear understanding of how European operators make decisions regarding component sourcing and maintenance strategies, which will be a great asset to our team.”
