“We are delighted to develop a new cooperation with one of the world-leading aircraft engine manufacturer. Through this partnership, we are looking forward to leveraging our expertise in casting process to support the ambitious production challenges of the LEAP program,” said Sachin Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director, PTC Industries.

“Having PTC industries expanding our global supply chain is a major step forward for our company. PTC, with its investment in its new facilities in Lucknow, pave the way to a successful cooperation over the coming years,” said Dominique Dupuy, Vice President (Purchasing), Safran Aircraft Engines.

Safran Aircraft Engines, alongside other Safran companies, has a strong footprint in India with five production facilities in the country (in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Goa), which will be completed by a sixth site in Hyderabad dedicated to the LEAP MRO activities by 2025.

To date, more than 2,200 LEAP engines have been ordered by Indian airlines.
