Precision forged and machined components maker for aerospace, defense and energy (oil & gas, power turbine) sectors.
Precision forged and machined components maker for aerospace, defense and energy (oil & gas, power turbine) sectors.
Supplies parts under long-term supply agreements to a small number of large turbine and aircraft engine makers, so revenue follows their production plans and each new part must be qualified before volumes start. Qualification takes years, so the order book builds slowly and then runs for long periods.
Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification, IP / patents). High-precision forging/machining qualified for demanding aerospace and energy-turbine specifications.
Headquarters: Hyderabad, India · Founded: 2006 · Employees: 2,848
