FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 10, 2009) - Bell Helicopter, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, today announced that its Canadian Supply Center is now providing Honeywell T53 engine spare parts and accessories in Canada.

The Canadian Supply Center has entered into a distribution agreement with McTurbine, Inc., a Honeywell approved independent service center, to be their approved distributor for Honeywell T53 engine parts and accessories in Canada. Customers may place orders for these Honeywell parts directly with their supply center account manager using their existing Bell spares accounts.

Colin Bartole, general manager of Bell's Canadian Supply Center said, "This agreement supports our mandate of being a one-stop supplier for all our customers needs and allows us to continue to expand our customer offerings. We want to be known as a complete service provider for our customers."

Bell's regional supply centers are strategically located around the world to provide customers with parts and accessories in a timely manner. Last year the Calgary center relocated into a 38,000 sq. ft. facility to accommodate expansion of their support and service offerings.
