Supplier Development and Regional Growth: A Strategic Engine for Global Value Creation

As the global aerospace industry adapts to ongoing supply chain disruptions and evolving geopolitical dynamics, regional supplier development has become a critical lever for resilience and long-term value creation. Incora’s recent initiatives highlight our commitment to building high-performance, future-ready supply chains that are agile, sustainable, and strategically aligned with global demands.

In preparation for upcoming industry events, our cross-regional procurement teams—spanning the UK, US, and other key markets—engaged with a diverse network of suppliers across multiple regions. These engagements delivered immediate operational value while laying the foundation for deeper partnerships and long-term cost efficiencies. This proactive approach reflects our belief that regional supplier ecosystems are not just operational nodes, but strategic partners in our global sourcing strategy.

Our regional Business Capability Centers (BCCs) are central to this vision. By embedding sourcing and supply chain operations closer to emerging and established markets, we enhance responsiveness, reduce lead times, and unlock localized innovation. These regions offer a compelling mix of technical expertise, cost efficiency, and growing aerospace capabilities. As global OEMs expand their sourcing footprints, Incora is well-positioned to lead through our established presence and robust supplier development programs.

As we head into the Paris Air Show, we are proud to showcase how Incora’s sourcing and procurement strategy is delivering measurable value—financially, operationally, and sustainably. Our regional presence is not just about growth; it’s about leadership, innovation, and a bold vision for the future of aerospace supply chains.

Supplier Development

In an increasingly complex and dynamic global environment, this initiative reflects Incora’s commitment to ensuring continuity, sustainability, and innovation across its supplier ecosystem.

“We recognize that our suppliers are critical partners in delivering value to our customers,” said Chad Stecker, CSO at Incora. “This initiative underscores our proactive approach to building a resilient, agile, and high-performing supply chain that is ready to navigate today’s risks and seize tomorrow’s opportunities.”

The Supplier Development and Risk Management (SDRM) program includes:

• Strategic Supplier Development: Structured capability-building programs, performance benchmarking, and co-innovation initiatives to enhance supplier efficiency and sustainability.
• Risk Identification and Mitigation: Data-driven scorecards and scenario planning to identify vulnerabilities across the supply base and implement timely mitigation strategies.
• Technology Integration: Implementation of digital platforms and analytics to improve supplier visibility, communication, and real-time decision-making.

The initiative will roll out globally, beginning with key suppliers in the United States and the EU, then scaling across other priority markets in Q4 2025.

Incora invites current and prospective suppliers to engage in this strategic partnership, emphasizing mutual growth, innovation, and long-term value creation.
