Wipro Infrastructure Engineering (WIN) commenced supplying aerospace
parts to global aircraft maker Boeing from its plant here, said the IT
major arm on Thursday.
"Boeing has contracted our aerospace
division to make strut assemblies for its 737 MAX and next-generation
737 airplane programmes," said the city-based WIN in a statement here.
As
Boeing sources systems and components from India as an Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Wipro's expertise with aero-structures and
actuators provide an option to aircraft makers.
"It is a
privilege to partner with Boeing to support their 737 programmes. Our
expertise and project execution have helped us achieve this feat," said
WIN Chief Executive Pratik Kumar.
WIN has supplied
aero-structures and components for the Boeing's 737, 767 and 787
Dreamliner fleet through its facility in Israel.
"Our
partnerships with Indian suppliers like Wipro play a key role in
Boeing's global strategy. Our mutual agreement demonstrates our
commitment to developing the aerospace industry in India," said Boeing
India Director Ashwani Bhargava in the statement.
