Ian Tumanow, Chief Procurement Officer for Pattonair, said: "I am extremely pleased to have reached this point in our relationship with UPP. UPP and Pattonair have had a trading relationship since 2006, over which time the business interaction, growth and relationship has developed. The signing of this Long Term Agreement reinforces the commitment from both parties in working together in support of each other’s strategic business plans. I could not be more pleased to announce this further collaboration with UPP who already feature in Pattonair's long term supply chain strategy and are our first major supplier contract in North America.”

Gary Winkler, president of UPP, said “The long-term agreement (LTA) represents the confidence UPP has earned by delivering parts to Pattonair’s exacting standards.  Being the first USA based supplier awarded an LTA by Pattonair is clearly gratifying and an important milestone that mirrors UPP’s strategies for production growth and continuously improving our performance against increasingly vigorous quality and delivery standards.”
