 Tata unit TAL Manufacturing Solutions Ltd. and RUAG Aerostructures entered into partnership for manufacturing and supply of aero structural components and sub-assemblies. The two companies signed a multi-year contract with a potential value of over $ 150 million. The new work scope allows RUAG to strengthen and optimise the global supply chain to the advantage of Airbus.
As part of the contract, TAL will manufacture and supply over 550 sheet metal components, machined parts and sub-assemblies to RUAG, for Airbus’ fast moving, successful A320 programme. Going into two fuselage sections of the Airbus A320, these parts are processed from steel, aluminium and titanium and involve use of some of the most sophisticated and futuristic equipment in aerospace manufacturing.
 “It (the partnership with TAL) reflects our strategy to go global in the supply chain and enables RUAG to strengthen its position as a leading first-tier supplier in Aerostructures,” Urs Breitmeier, CEO of RUAG Group said.
