GXO Logistics announced that its Dormagen, Germany facility has earned EN 9120 certification, the aerospace‑industry quality‑management standard for distributors. The certification applies to the warehouse that stores more than 9,000 unique Boeing commercial parts and confirms that GXO’s processes meet the stringent requirements for airworthiness documentation, counterfeit avoidance, and calibrated handling.
The EN 9120 designation is a key differentiator for logistics providers serving the aerospace and defense sector. By meeting the standard, GXO strengthens its partnership with Boeing and positions itself to capture additional high‑margin contracts across Europe. The certification also signals GXO’s readiness to serve other major aerospace customers who demand the same level of quality assurance and traceability.
GXO’s Q3 2025 results underscore the business momentum behind the certification. Revenue rose to $3.40 billion, an 8% year‑over‑year increase, while net income climbed to $60 million and diluted EPS reached $0.51. The company beat consensus estimates, reporting EPS of $0.79 versus the $0.78 forecast and revenue of $3.40 billion versus the $3.38 billion expectation. The earnings beat was driven by disciplined cost management, operational leverage from the expanded European footprint, and a favorable mix shift toward higher‑margin aerospace contracts.
Managing Director for Continental Europe, Paul Mohan, said the certification “exemplifies GXO’s commitment to reliable, compliant, and time‑critical logistics for global aerospace leaders and sets the foundation for further expansion in the region.” CEO Patrick Kelleher added that the quarter’s “record revenue and double‑digit adjusted EBITDA growth underscore the strength and resilience of GXO’s business model.”
The company reaffirmed its full‑year 2025 guidance, projecting organic revenue growth of 3.5%–6.5% and adjusted EBITDA of $865 million–$885 million. Management’s confidence in the outlook reflects the continued demand for AI‑enabled, high‑velocity logistics solutions and the strategic advantage conferred by the new certification. While the company faces ongoing cost inflation and capital investments in automation, the certification mitigates regulatory headwinds and enhances GXO’s competitive positioning in a fragmented German market dominated by legacy players.
GXO’s expansion in Germany, which began in 2023, is part of a broader multi‑year plan to grow its European logistics network. With 30 aerospace and defense sites certified to AS 9100/AS 9120 and ITAR‑compliant processes, the company is well positioned to serve the high‑growth, high‑margin segment of the global supply chain. The Dormagen certification strengthens this portfolio and reinforces GXO’s strategy of leveraging automation and AI to deliver reliable, time‑critical services to aerospace customers.
Overall, the EN 9120 certification marks a significant operational milestone that complements GXO’s strong financial performance and strategic expansion in Europe. The certification not only deepens the company’s relationship with Boeing but also enhances its appeal to other high‑margin aerospace clients, supporting the company’s long‑term growth trajectory.
