Skeyos, recently founded by Lufthansa Technik, has developed a new digital marketplace and procurement tool, for the purchase and sale of aircraft component services.

After acquiring first partners from the European region, Skeyos is now approaching the US market.

The platform will be the primary channel for Lufthansa Technik to promote their local component services for American customers and Skeyos is currently working with repair facility Mingo Aerospace of Owasso, Oklahoma, as one of the first companies from the US to offer its capabilities worldwide for direct purchase online.

“It is our priority to make the on-boarding experience as smooth as possible for our partners. This includes providing a full orientation at their facilities and as much individual personal support as needed. Our job isn’t done until the user is able to intuitively experience all of the benefits of our platform,” said Skeyos sales manager Pascal Knoll.

The platform was officially unveiled in January at MRO Middle East in Dubai and has grown rapidly since. At MRO Americas, from 10-12 April in Orlando, Florida, Skeyos will present the benefits of its tool.

Skeyos CEO Hansi Schmidt said: “Orlando is our first trade show in the US, and we’ll be building on important experience gained since the launch of our digital marketplace & procurement tool.”

“We are confident that we can expand our qualified network at MRO Americas and convince important new customers of the simplicity of our sourcing and fulfilment processes,” added Schmidt.

Brian Emery, vice-president of business development at Mingo, said: “The Skeyos team was a great help in providing a quick and easy onboarding process to the platform. I am excited to utilise Skeyos as a sales tool to share our unique capabilities with a larger direct customer base.”
