Exclusive-Aerospace industry scrambles to deal with fallout from huge US factory fire

Boeing and other top aerospace firms are scouring their supply chains to determine their exposure to a major fire last week at a Philadelphia-area parts factory that has set off alarm bells across the industry, people familiar with the matter said. The days-long fire at SPS Technologies' century-old factory could put pressure on the industry's already strapped supply chain. GE Aerospace and others are now trying to figure out who can replace the factory's lost production and also identify who has spare parts, the people said.
