B&H Worldwide Opens New Auckland Aerospace Logistics Facility
B&H Worldwide relocated its New Zealand operations to Mangere, near Auckland Airport, offering AOG support and 3PL services.
Aerospace logistics provider B&H Worldwide has relocated its New Zealand operations to a larger facility near Auckland Airport, expanding its capacity to support airlines, maintenance providers, and aerospace suppliers in the Oceania region.
In a press release issued on August 20, 2026, the company announced that the new site in Mangere became fully operational on June 8, 2026. The expansion follows a recent private equity investment aimed at scaling the logistics firm’s global footprint.
Facility Capabilities and Strategic Location
The new warehouse and office complex is situated at 197 Montgomerie Road in Mangere, positioning the operation less than ten minutes from Auckland Airport (AKL). This proximity is designed to expedite critical shipments for the aviation sector, including 24/7 Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support. The facility provides comprehensive third-party logistics (3PL) warehousing, inventory management, customs clearance, and direct airside access for Original Equipment OEMs, lessors, and MRO providers.
B&H Worldwide New Zealand Branch Manager Lee Hedges stated that the relocation represents a critical step in strengthening the company’s regional service offerings.
“Its proximity to Auckland Airport, combined with our specialist customs expertise, secure storage capabilities and around-the-clock AOG support, enables us to respond quickly and efficiently to our customers’ requirements,” Hedges said.
Regional Expansion and Recent Operations
The Auckland expansion is part of a broader growth strategy for B&H Worldwide, supported by a March 26, 2026, investment from global private equity firm Sun European Partners. The capital injection was structured to fund the logistics company’s expansion across Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Building on its New Zealand operations, the company is looking to replicate this logistics model in Australia. During the RotorTech 2026 event in June, B&H Worldwide indicated it is actively exploring a similar 3PL warehousing setup in Brisbane.
The company has demonstrated specialized handling capabilities in the local market prior to the facility upgrade. In February 2026, B&H Worldwide managed the transport of a decommissioned Airbus A330 cockpit from the United Kingdom to Christchurch, delivering the unit to Pacific Simulators for conversion into a flight training device.
AirPro News analysis
The formal announcement of the Auckland facility’s opening on August 20, 2026, more than two months after it became fully operational on June 8, suggests a phased approach to the company’s regional rollout following the Sun European Partners investment. By securing a larger footprint adjacent to New Zealand’s primary aviation hub, B&H Worldwide is positioning itself to capture a larger share of the specialized MRO and AOG logistics market in Oceania. We expect the company to leverage this operational template as it pursues its stated goal of establishing a parallel facility in Brisbane.
