Tata’s aerospace collaboration

Tata Technologies, Tata Advanced Materials and TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd announced collaboration at the Farnborough International Air Show announced to offer an end to end Design, Manufacturing and Assembly capability to the aerospace manufacturing industry.

These three Tata group companies have agreed to establish a focused infrastructure, offering the industry an opportunity for design and build components across the aerospace value chain, said Tata in a statement on July 11, 2016 at the show.

This includes a strong focus on outsourced manufacturing for both metallic and composites and a strong capability in the design and engineering domains supported with a holistic capability in product lifecycle management integration.

Warren Harris, Tata Technologies MD & CEO, speaking at the Farnborough Air Show said: “This is an exciting and comprehensive strategy to support design, engineering and manufacturing in the aerospace industry on a global level.

“The industry is looking for quality, cost and capability as it strives to meet the unprecedented demand for higher productivity across the supply chain.  Tata’s strength lies in a decade of significant investment in cutting edge next generation manufacturing facilities in India and a strong leadership position at Tata Technologies in advanced design and manufacturing engineering capabilities.”

S R Mukherjee, Tata Advanced Materials CEO, added “The collaboration between the three companies allows them to leverage their individual domain strengths to bring a wider and more complete offering to their customers.

“With the unprecedented level of backlog in the commercial aerospace industry, and India’s emergence as a destination of choice for manufacturing, the partnership is aimed at offering a robust, dependable, and high quality supply chain to global aerospace companies.”

Rajesh Khatri, TAL Manufacturing Solutions Limited, ED & CEO, stressed that the collaboration between the three Tata Companies, in pursuit of offering design-to-build solutions on a common platform for the global aerospace industry, offers a strong and unique value proposition.

Backed by the state-of-the-art facilities, robust systems and best practices and proven track record, the joint working will enable customers to source end-to-end solutions covering metallic & composite – parts and assemblies and tooling with assured quality and delivery through a single window. fii-news.com
