Air-Parts has been a reliable partner for test and measurement equipment since 1955, always with a focus on quality and service. What once started as a parts supplier for the military and the civil aviation industry, we have now grown into a versatile company serving numerous markets.
Extensive service package
Thanks to our collaboration with Havé Beheer, of which we have been part since 2006, we have been able to further expand our range. Not only do we supply specialist equipment, but also offer a comprehensive service package: calibration and maintenance, repairs, user training and product demonstrations.
The Air-Parts team
The strength of Air-Parts is in our team of experts. We believe that a favourable location and a wide product range are important, but it is our people who make the difference. Our team consists of highly trained specialists who, day in and day out, work to find the best solutions for our customers. We work closely with our suppliers and manufacturers to always guarantee suitable products and the highest quality.
Quality
ISO9001:2015 Certification
We are ISO certified. This means that we meet the highest standards in quality management. This is reflected in all processes of our organisation: from the ordering and delivery process of our products to the execution of our calibration services. All our processes are described in detail and everything we do is recorded. This is how we guarantee our quality and continuous improvement.
Do you have questions or tips about the quality we deliver?
The advantage for our customers
- SCIOS-certified companies and inspectors too can have most measuring instruments calibrated by us, because we now meet the requirements set in TD17.
- The certification helps us to structure and optimise business processes. And you will notice that efficiency when you purchase a product or service from us.
- To meet the standard, we continue to evaluate and continuously improve our products, services and processes. Customer satisfaction surveys are part of this process. Customer needs and satisfaction are always focal points.
