Boeing Distribution Services honored for best-in-class delivery, quality

Boeing Distribution Services, the preferred hardware distributor for BAE Systems, Inc.’s Electronic Systems sector, was named a Supplier of the Year for the exceptional performance and supply chain solutions provided in North America and the United Kingdom.

“We are happy to share that Boeing Distribution Services was selected as the 2022 BAE Distributor of the Year for Electronics Systems for North America and the United Kingdom,” said Chuck Robinson, Boeing Distribution Services sales leader. “We would like to celebrate the success of the many Boeing team members supporting this strategic customer, including the dedicated program teams. … Congratulations to all on a job well done.“

In addition to providing hardware to BAE, Boeing is responsible for the overall management of the program, including forecasting and planning, procurement activities, and meeting the challenging quality and operational requirements of both the warfighter and commercial customer base, Robinson said. They also partner with C&D Electronics, a small business, to provide the vendor managed inventory service at multiple BAE sites in North America across the Electronics Systems group.
