- 1st supplier contract placed in India for CH-47 helicopter expands partnership with local industry
Boeing and Dynamatic Technologies Limited have increased India’s global presence in aerospace manufacturing through the first supplier contract in that country for the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Dynamatic will manufacture the aft pylon and cargo ramp assemblies for Boeing’s model CH-47F Chinook.
“This contract is another demonstration of our commitment to partnering with India’s aerospace industry to bring the best local talent and technologies to Boeing and in turn to our customers,” said Boeing India President Pratyush Kumar. “Together we will implement advanced manufacturing processes, backed with industry best practices, to enable partners such as Dynamatic to succeed.”
Dynamatic’s relationship with Boeing began in March 2010 with a contract award to supply the mission-and-power equipment cabinets for India’s P-8I maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
“Boeing’s high-quality products and unique processes make it a terrific customer for us to have.” said Udayant Malhoutra, CEO and managing director, Dynamatic Technologies Limited. “This order gives us the opportunity to be involved in Boeing’s global supply chain at a whole new level.”
“Dynamatic continues to demonstrate its capability to deliver high-quality work to the aerospace industry,” said Dennis Swanson, Vice President, International Business Development, Boeing Defense, Space & Security in India. “This is a great example of an Indian company competitively bidding for a significant work package and also expanding its capabilities by partnering with Boeing to become part of the global supply chain.”
Boeing is focused on creating sustainable value in the Indian aerospace sector. The company has developed important relationships with suppliers in India and is actively pursuing technical and business partnerships with Indian companies and institutions.
The close relationship between Boeing and India dates back 70 years to when Tata Airlines first flew DC-3 passenger aircraft. Today, Boeing jets including the next-generation 787 are the mainstay of the country’s domestic and intercontinental commercial fleets, and the P-8I and C-17 are here to enhance India’s defense capabilities.
