MD Helicopters is reaching out into the burgeoning Chinese marketplace. The company has named Shenzhen-based Avion Pacific as a distributor for the company's entire line of light helicopters in China.

"China has a relatively small, but growing marketplace with excellent potential for the future," says MDHI's regional sales manager John Hannay. "We believe our products are ideally suited for China and we are very pleased to have Avion Pacific representing us in this important region."

MDHI says future sales in China are likely to come from utility and law enforcement markets, including power line patrol and construction, as well as a variety of government agencies.
