The Aftermarket Advantage: Optimizing the Fleet

We don’t believe you should have to wait months for a part that only meets the bare minimum. At The Gill Corporation (TGC), our aftermarket solutions are built to meet or exceed the original specs.

By focusing on vertical integration and rapid availability, we ensure your replacement part is high-performing, cost-effective and available when you need it.

Our Fabrication & Kitting Expertise

We don’t just ship raw materials, we deliver “installation-ready” shipsets. By keeping the entire fabrication process in-house, we ensure every component meets rigorous quality standards before it ever reaches your hangar.

Our comprehensive in-house capabilities include:

  • Precision Machining: Advanced 3- and 5-axis CNC machining for Gillfloor® and Gillfab® panels and laminates.
  • Full Assembly: Expertly installs and attaches both purchased and vertically integrated components.
    • Inserts, insulation blankets, and sound damping tiles
    • Anti-skid tapes, part markings, and labels
    • Fittings, intercostals, and splice plates
    • Edge fill and edge seal

Advanced P2F Solutions

We provide targeted solutions for the most common maintenance pain points:

  • Semi-Finished Gillfab® Panels: For Airbus operators, these panels offer ultimate flexibility. Unlike OEM panels, these can be fabricated into any custom shape.
  • Gillpatch® III: When a cargo liner is punctured, it could be fixed. Our peel-and-stick solution not only restores flammability, but also restores actual impact resistance, making the repair as strong as a 0.070” laminate.
  • P2F Conversions: Strategic support for B737, B777, and A330 programs, providing the high-strength floors and liners essential for a successful freighter conversion.

Certified Excellence & AOG Support

TGC provides the global aftermarket with innovative designs approved under various certifications including:

    • Supplemental Type Certification (STC): STCs allow customers to make major aircraft cargo hold modifications using our qualified Gillfab® panels.
    • Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) / European Parts Manufacturer (EPA): FAA-approved to create cost-effective, high-quality alternatives to OEM parts, including floor panels and cargo liners.
    • Owner/Operator Produced Parts (OOPP): Customer approved, precision-cut kits (e.g., cargo liner kits and/or floor panel shipsets) are supplied from customer drawings.
    • AOG Service: We maintain a dedicated inventory of critical panels and liners specifically for grounded aircraft to ensure rapid delivery.
