Establishes European Sales, Support Network For XL2
Liberty Aerospace announced Thursday it has signed an exclusive
distributorship agreement with Piper-Germany to sell and distribute
the Liberty XL2 to the general aviation market in Germany, Austria
and the United Kingdom.
"The inclusion of Piper-Germany into the Liberty distribution
team is a stellar event," said Liberty President and CEO Keith
Markley. "We have long sought a quality partner to bring the
Liberty XL2 into the central Europe and UK markets. Given the size
and quality of the Piper-Germany workforce and their premier
locations, we believe both companies will benefit greatly from this
joint endeavor."
Like a number of US-based planemakers, Liberty has focused its
recent efforts on increasing overseas orders. The company exhibited
at all major European shows this year, where the company reports it
received an "overwhelming" response.
"During my ongoing visits to Piper Aircraft, Inc. in Vero Beach
I’ve been visiting the Liberty manufacturing facility in
Melbourne for years to catch up on the development of their new
2-seat aircraft, the Liberty XL2," said Wilfried Otto, President
and CEO of the Piper-Germany group. "Having observed the
development over the years, I am pleased that both the company and
the aircraft have taken such a positive evolvement and that we have
been selected to market Liberty aircraft in Germany, Austria and
the United Kingdom. We look forward to continuing Liberty’s
success in this new partnership."
Piper-Germany has been an authorized Piper dealer since
1968.
