1 min read
Canadian aerospace giant Magellan Aerospace Corporation has secured a further work package, Crown Fittings, on Airbus' new A350 XWB.
It is expected to generate revenues in excess of $US 20 million over the next 10 years. The contract requires the machining and treatment of complex machined aluminium lithium detail components, and delivery to the final assembly line in Toulouse, France.
Production will take place at Magellan's facilities in the UK at Bournemouth, with new investment in machining capacity to be phased in as the production rate increases from 2012. Magellan Aerospace (UK) Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Aerospace Corporation.
The first deliveries of the contracted 800 shipsets will be made in April, 2011. Jim Butyniec, Magellan's president and CEO, said: "This package, together with Magellan's existing A350 XWB work on the Centre Wing Box and the Pylon Secondary Structure, augments Magellan's position on this exciting new program."
Magellan designs, engineers, and manufactures aeroengine and aerostructure assemblies and components for aerospace markets, advanced products for military and space markets, and complementary specialty products.
