New Delhi, Jun 30 (PTI) Bengaluru-based Unimech Aerospace and Manufacturing Limited has signed a long-term supply agreement with Austria’s FACC Operations GmbH, which provides lightweight construction solutions for the aerospace industry for manufacturing and supplying precision-engineered aerospace components and flying parts.
The development came after a multi-year engagement involving technical evaluations, capability assessments, quality reviews, commercial negotiations, and extensive discussions between the two organisations.
Unimech will now undergo a qualification and industrialisation phase over the coming quarters, including first article approvals, process validations and production readiness activities before transitioning into serial
production.
In a statement on Tuesday, Anil Kumar Puttan, chairman and managing director of Unimech, said, “This agreement reflects the confidence global aerospace customers place in our engineering, manufacturing, quality and delivery capabilities.” “We look forward to working closely with FACC during the qualification and industrialisation phase and building a long-term partnership supporting global aerospace programmes,” he added.
Puttan also highlighted that the agreement would help Unimech expand its precision components and parts business by increasing participation in long-term aerospace production programmes.
Thomas Kraus, executive vice president (procurement) at FACC, said in a statement, “Following a comprehensive evaluation process, Unimech demonstrated the technical capability, quality systems, manufacturing competence and commitment required to support our aerospace programs.” “We look forward to working together through the qualification phase and developing a successful long-term partnership,” he added.
