APOC Timeline

  • A new focus

    APOC secures multi-million flexible funding facility with Deutsche Bank AG via its transportation structured finance group. The funds will be used to expand APOC’s existing business portfolio whilst underpinning further vertical integration of future complementary solutions. The flexibility offered by Deutsche Bank enables APOC to grow exponentially in both the short and medium term.

  • New Markets and New Facility

    The company began the year by opening its first stock hub in Singapore, a move that was followed by the Miami hub and, soon, hubs in China. APOC plans to triple the size of our facilities with the opening of a new purpose-built warehouse adjacent to the present site close to Rotterdam airport.

  • Continuing development

    APOC continued its expansion by:

    • opening a dedicated Landing Gear division in Vilnius, Lithuania.
    • securing an equity partner – Egeria – to assist the company in further development.
    • ranking 𝟭𝟰𝘁𝗵 in The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 – annual ranking of the fifty fastest-growing technology companies in the Netherlands.

  • Year of rapid growth

    In 2019, APOC experienced an exciting period of sustained growth. In a forward-thinking move, the company diversified by opening a new Engines division and moved to a brand new facility close to Rotterdam The Hague Airport.

  • Exceptional Quality Control

    APOC’s year culminated with a highly impressive quality control result – a rejection rate of 0.7% – far below the industry average.

  • ALICANTO – Industry-leading software

    APOC began using our industry bench-mark proprietary software platform ALICANTO – a platform that updates available stock in real-time every 5 seconds.

  • Raising capital

    Pioneered crowd-funding to raise capital for growth.

  • Accreditation

    APOC achieved accreditation by ASA 100 certification, emphasising impartiality, competence, reliability; ISO 9001 certification for exceptional quality management standards; AS 9120 certification for quality management for aerospace industry stockist distributors.

  • Building foundation

    APOC was founded in 2014 by aviation enthusiast Max Lutje Wooldrik. After selling his previous business, he spent a period exploring in the aviation industry where he spotted an opportunity to take a modernised, tech-enabled approach to the aviation part-out business. From the beginning, the company’s core activity has been the part-out of airframes, a process that involves the sourcing of decommissioned airframes for tear down, and subsequent re-selling of the resourced parts.
