Arcfield Canada Corp., a leading provider in aerospace and defence services, will celebrate the official opening of their expanded warehouse facility located in La Baie, Quebec with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, April 11, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. EDT.
This latest investment will increase Arcfield’s footprint in the region by 300%, to a total of 25,000 square feet, and will enhance the company’s supply chain management service offering for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Arcfield Canada facility currently supports the CF-18 flying operations conducted at 3 Wing Bagotville, located in Saguenay, and under the operational command of 1 Canadian Air Division.
“This expansion emphasizes Arcfield Canada’s commitment to the ongoing support for Canada’s CF-18 fleet, and our capability to deliver industry-leading supply chain services,” said Jacques Comtois, director, Arcfield Canada. “Additionally, it will enable us to meet the increasing needs of our industry and government customers.”
For more than 30 years, Arcfield Canada has been the cornerstone in providing in-service support, maintenance repair and overhaul, engineering and testing and comprehensive supply chain management services for the Royal Canadian Air Force’s CF-18 aircraft fleet. To date, the company has completed more than 70,000 repairs on the CF-18 avionics and managed more than 100,000 supply requests.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our Canadian business capacity,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman and chief executive officer, Arcfield. “The expansion will ensure we can continue to provide mission-critical support to Canada’s Department of National Defence and the country’s CF-18 fighter jets.”
To support the expanded operations, Arcfield has filled several new positions at the facility and continues its search to attract top talent to add to its skilled workforce.
The ribbon-cutting festivities will include the participation of special guests, Arcfield customers and employees, and is open to the media.
