The recent announcement of a strategic partnership between Dynamatic Technologies Limited and Aequs Private Limited for the supply of complex structural parts for the Airbus A220 Door Program marks a significant milestone in India’s aerospace manufacturing journey. This five-year contract not only underscores the growing maturity of the Indian aerospace ecosystem but also highlights the increasing role of Indian companies in the global aerospace supply chain. The collaboration, rooted in innovation, precision, and excellence, reflects the shared vision of both companies to contribute to the global aviation industry while advancing the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Under the terms of the agreement, Aequs will manufacture and deliver over 200 detailed parts for the Airbus A220 Door Program. These components involve complex processes such as tool design, forgings, machining, and surface treatment. The partnership builds upon the existing relationship between Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs, both of which are well-established players in the aerospace supply chain. By leveraging Aequs’ end-to-end manufacturing capabilities and Dynamatic’s expertise in delivering high-quality aerospace assemblies, the collaboration aims to set new benchmarks in precision and reliability.
A Strategic Partnership for Global Excellence
Dynamatic Technologies, a leader in the development of airframe structures and precision aerospace components, has consistently demonstrated its ability to meet the stringent demands of global aerospace majors. Its facilities in India, the United Kingdom, and Germany are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and are designed to support sustainable development. The company’s vertically integrated operations, which include alloy-making and casting capabilities, as well as captive green energy sources, further enhance its ability to deliver high-quality products to customers across six continents.
Aequs, on the other hand, is a diversified manufacturing platform with a strong presence in the aerospace manufacturing value chain. The company operates India’s first precision manufacturing Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at the Belagavi Aerospace Cluster (BAC), which houses a vertically integrated ecosystem of co-located manufacturing facilities. With operations in India, the United States, and France, Aequs provides supply chain efficiencies to its global customer base. Its expertise in forging, precision machining, surface treatment, and aerostructure assembly has made it a trusted partner for global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
The collaboration between these two industry leaders is a testament to their shared commitment to excellence and innovation. Udayant Malhoutra, CEO and Managing Director of Dynamatic Technologies, emphasized that this partnership aligns with the company’s mission to deliver world-class aerospace assemblies while strengthening India’s aerospace ecosystem. Similarly, Aravind Melligeri, Chairman and CEO of Aequs, highlighted the significance of this collaboration in showcasing India’s growing capabilities in aerospace manufacturing and its integration into the global supply chain.
Advancing India’s Aerospace Ecosystem
This partnership is particularly significant in the context of the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ initiative, which aims to position India as a global manufacturing hub. Earlier this year, Airbus awarded Dynamatic Technologies one of the largest aerospace export orders to Indian companies for the manufacturing and assembly of A220 aircraft doors. This contract has created downstream opportunities for other Indian suppliers, further boosting the country’s aerospace ecosystem.
The collaboration between Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs demonstrates the increasing maturity of Indian aerospace manufacturing. It also highlights the ability of Indian companies to meet the exacting standards of global aerospace majors. By combining their strengths, the two companies are not only contributing to the success of the Airbus A220 program but are also paving the way for future collaborations that will enhance India’s position in the global aerospace industry.
A Vision for the Future
The partnership between Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs represents a significant step forward in building a robust aerospace ecosystem in India. It reflects the shared vision of both companies to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet global standards of precision, quality, and reliability. Moreover, it underscores the potential of Indian companies to play a pivotal role in the global aerospace supply chain.
As India continues to emerge as a key player in the global aerospace market, collaborations like this will be instrumental in driving innovation, creating jobs, and strengthening the country’s manufacturing capabilities. The partnership between Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs is not just a milestone for the two companies but also a testament to the growing capabilities of India’s aerospace industry. It serves as a reminder of the transformative potential of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence.
