Canadian companies Wilcox Ground Service and GTA Aviation announce North American ground service equipment distribution collaboration.

Wilcox Ground Services of Milton Ontario, Canada, has announced a collaborative agreement with GTA Aviation for exclusive North American distribution from March 1st.

Wilcox Ground Services was founded in 1962 and is a multi-generational family-run business with David Dick currently presiding as their vice-president. Wilcox Ground Services specializes in the manufacture of ground support equipment (GSE) for the aviation industry, focusing on steel and aluminum production provided by an experienced team of certified welders and installers.

Their new partner, GTA Aviation of Mississauga Ontario, Canada, are a provider of aviation equipment worldwide for almost two decades. Like Wilcox Ground Services, they are a second generation family-run business whose president is Angelo D’Urso.

The new partnership is an exclusive North American distribution agreement that will include all ground support products, including baggage carts, dollies, maintenance stairs and stands, vehicles, and any other future manufactured products.

This long-term agreement is expected to significantly strengthen the positions of both Wilcox Ground Services and GTA Aviation throughout North American, granting Wilcox Ground Services access to GTA Aviation’s extensive network, and opens up a larger product catalogue to GTA Aviation.

GTA and Wilcox have a lot in common, such as our core business values, family run organizations, and an exceptional focus on customer service and quality. This collaboration allows Wilcox to focus on our expertise of manufacturing and engineering new products, while GTA can focus on market development and gaining exposure to our brands. Wilcox and GTA are committed to exceeding customer expectations by being a leading provider of safe and high quality ground service equipment – a value that is fundamental to our operating mandate. I am excited to work together with Angelo and Mario D’Urso along with the staff at GTA Aviation.” – David Dick, Wilcox Ground Services Vice-President.

The two companies also plan to expand upon this partnership by collaboratively developing exclusive products, with Wilcox Ground Services granting GTA Aviation the right to promote, market, and sell their products to the aviation industry in both Canada and the United States. This will allow GTA Aviation to become one of the few “one-stop-shops” that can fulfill all the GSE needs of any customer.
