Ionic Systems signs 10-year Boeing deal

Ionic Systems signs 10-year supply agreement with Aviall.

Ionic Systems has signed an exclusive 10-year supply agreement with Aviall, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, for pure water cleaning solutions for airside aviation applications.

US-based Aviall supports both commercial and defence business units within Boeing. Aviall, also the world’s largest provider of new aviation parts and related aftermarket services, operates six locations across Australia and New Zealand including Brisbane, Victoria, Western Australia and Auckland.

Ionic Systems is a UK-based window cleaning equipment provider, known for its Reach & Wash system, which is understood to have pioneered the use of composite poles for window cleaning. Ionic Systems entered the Australia market around 10 years ago and is headed by Gordon Cornish, who also has a background in aviation.

The company also has an extensive range of poles and portable and van mounted units. All products are manufactured at Ionic’s plant in Swindon, UK and is distributed to 34 countries worldwide.

Aviall president and CEO, Eric Strafel said the company was proud to add Ionic Systems to its product portfolio.

“Aviall is pleased to add Ionic Systems to our product portfolio as we continue to build and expand upon our growing capabilities in the aerospace industry,” said Aviall president and CEO, Eric Strafel.

“We look forward to working closely with Ionic Systems to better connect the aerospace supply-chain in delivering its high-quality cleaning solutions to the marketplace.”

Ionic’s chairman Craig Mawlam said Aviall offers a “springboard opportunity” as Ionic Systems continues its growth plans.

“Partnering with a Boeing company (Aviall) offers a great springboard opportunity for Ionic as we continue to roll out our diversification and growth plans. There has never been a better time to introduce chemical-free pure water cleaning solutions to the world.”

Gordon Cornish, national sales manager of Ionic Systems Australia, said: “It is going to be a very exciting next few years, having Aviall’s scope and reach globally, every airline at every destination, both civilian and defence, are potential customers.”
