Oxley Group has appointed Japan Aerospace Corporation (JAC) as its representative in Japan.

JAC will represent Oxley across the lighting and systems product portfolio, including LED lighting for aircraft, NVIS aircraft upgrades, land vehicle and naval lighting solutions.

JAC is a well-established supplier of aircraft systems. Based in Tokyo, the company was incorporated in 2004 and, while its business origins began in 1952 in the general aviation market, it has now evolved to encompass defence and aerospace systems. Customers include Japan Ministry of Defence (JMOD), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI).

JAC has an impressive record in supplying a wide range of hi-tech products to the aerospace and military sectors and the addition of the Oxley lighting range will complement its existing portfolio, whilst offering Oxley customers access to in-country expertise and support.

Martin Blakstad, Group CEO, said: "We’re delighted to sign this agreement with JAC, Japan as a key growing market for Oxley. We have already started to supply lighting solutions for the JMOD fleet and we look forward to developing deeper customer relationships through our link with JAC."
