About Coplan

Coplan Limited was established in 1987 as a specialist company supplying wing covers, seat covers and various protective items to the automotive sector.

In 1997 the cost of Tool FOD in the aviation sector was rising sharply and Coplan Limited believed that they could help to relieve such costs. By talking to aviation specialists, carrying out extensive product research & development and using existing experience, Coplan Limited were able to provide a unique way of cutting and routing foam that provided a much needed hand tool control solution.

The unique composite of Polyethylene Foams (resistant to Skydrol) saw the rise of Coplan’s patented foam solutions.

Such solutions include our universally acclaimed:

Intelligent Tool Control (ITC) a range of bespoke cabinets offering proximity controlled access to specific drawers and a full audit of who accessed and when. Cabinets can be networked or stand alone.

Visual Tool Control (VTC) enables, at a glance, the identification of missing tools together with the option of secure, controlled access.
Mobile Asset Tracking Systems (MAT) are Tool Bags specifically designed to reduce the risk of Foreign Object Debris caused by tools not being returned to kit

Our products offer Total Tool Security, in the air, on the road, in the workplace! With over 10 years experience in the supply of FOD Control, Coplan Limited offers a ‘one stop shop’ for all hand tool requirements from consultancy to complete design and supply.

FOD - Foreign Object Debris/Damage

"Tool FOD" is a serious hazard caused by tools left inside aircraft or engines after servicing. Tools can get tangled in control cables, jam moving parts, short out electrical connections, or otherwise interfere with a safe flight.

FOD costs the aerospace industry $4 billion USD per year and causes expensive, significant damage every year to aircraft and parts and may cause death and injury to workers, pilots and passengers.
