Spirit supplier locates in Global TransPark

The N.C. Global TransPark in Kinston announced today the name of a Spirit AreoSystems supplier that has located in the park.

DB Schenker, a New York company that provides logistics support for Spirit's raw materials needs, has been operating out of a Global TransPark warehouse since April.

The company is leasing 19,000 square feet and expects to eventually provide 40 full-time jobs.

DB Schenker signed a 5-year lease to provide logistics support for Spirit, which is making fuselage sections and other components for a new Airbus plane scheduled to hit the market in 2013.

Earlier this month Spirit officially opened its 500,000-square-foot plant in the Global TransPark.

"DB Schenker's arrival at the GTP signals the continuing impact of Spirit's opening, as well as the GTP's potential to expand as an aerospace center," said Darlene Waddell, the park's executive director, in a statement.
