Dynamatic Technologies awards Aequs contract for Airbus A220 door components

Dynamatic Technologies Limited has signed a crucial agreement with Aequs Private Limited for the production of A220 door components, an integral part of Airbus’ A220 Door Program. The deal, announced on December 17, highlights the growing capabilities of Indian manufacturers in the global aerospace supply chain. Over the next five years, Aequs will produce more than 200 intricate parts for the project, drawing on its expertise in tool design, forgings, machining, and surface treatments.

The partnership underlines India‘s emergence as a hub for precision aerospace components, with Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs at the forefront. Udayant Malhoutra, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Dynamatic Technologies, emphasized that this project demonstrates their ability to deliver cutting-edge aerostructures. By leveraging Aequs’ vertically integrated processes, the collaboration ensures high-quality production aligned with global standards. This reinforces the companies’ shared commitment to excellence in the aerospace supply chain.

Aravind Melligeri, Chairman and CEO of Aequs, echoed this sentiment, pointing to the significance of their long-term collaboration. Melligeri remarked that this project reflects the increasing maturity of India’s aerospace ecosystem and its ability to meet stringent global requirements. He added that producing precision aerospace components for Airbus exemplifies the advanced capabilities of Indian manufacturers.

India’s Role in the Global Aerospace Industry

This agreement builds on Airbus’ earlier collaboration with Dynamatic Technologies, which resulted in one of the largest aerospace export orders to an Indian company. That contract, focused on manufacturing and assembling A220 Family aircraft doors, created opportunities for several Indian suppliers, further embedding the country in the global aerospace supply chain.

The production of A220 door components represents a critical step in expanding India’s aerospace ecosystem. Dynamatic Technologies, with its extensive network of facilities across Europe, India, and the UK, has long been recognized for its expertise in precision aerospace components. These facilities are supported by advanced research and development teams working on next-generation aerostructures, ensuring the company remains a key player in the aerospace market.

Aequs, headquartered at India’s Belagavi Aerospace Cluster, complements this expertise with its vertically integrated operations. The cluster, India’s first integrated aerospace manufacturing hub, supports every stage of the production process, from forging to surface treatment. This model not only streamlines manufacturing but also strengthens India’s position in the global aerospace supply chain by delivering high-quality solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide.

Driving Innovation and Collaboration

The collaboration between Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs signifies more than just a business transaction—it is a testament to the innovative potential of Indian aerospace companies. The production of A220 door components for Airbus highlights how strategic partnerships can drive technological advancements and position Indian firms as reliable global suppliers.

Beyond its economic implications, this partnership supports the Government of India’s “Make in India” initiative, which aims to boost domestic manufacturing across critical industries. By producing high-value aerostructures domestically, the agreement creates new opportunities for Indian suppliers to participate in the international aerospace supply chain.

Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs have demonstrated their ability to deliver world-class solutions through this partnership. The companies’ commitment to precision, quality, and innovation not only benefits their customers but also elevates India’s reputation in the aerospace industry. As global demand for precision aerospace components continues to rise, such collaborations will play a pivotal role in meeting market needs.

Broader Implications for the Aerospace Market

The success of this partnership underscores the transformative impact of Indian aerospace firms in shaping the global market. With Airbus relying on Indian suppliers for critical parts like A220 door components, it is clear that the nation’s manufacturing sector is becoming a cornerstone of the international aerospace supply chain.

This collaboration also sets a benchmark for other Indian companies aiming to enter the global aerospace market. By adopting best practices in production and innovation, manufacturers like Dynamatic Technologies and Aequs are demonstrating the potential for India to emerge as a leader in producing precision aerospace components.
