Sheet metal fabricator facility on the cards

It will be set up
in Belgaum
by QuEST Manufacturing

Mumbai: QuEST, a leading provider of outsourced engineering services and manufacturing, on Thursday announced that it is setting up a dedicated sheet metal fabricator facility for aerospace in Karnataka.

The facility is being set up by QuEST’s wholly-owned subsidiary QuEST Manufacturing in its 300-acre special economic zone in Belgaum, a press release said here.

The facility will be in close proximity to machining and special processing and will support both engine and structural sheet metal forming.

Phase-1 of the facility would comprise sheet metal-cutting, brake forming, hydro forming/fluid forming, heat treatment for aluminium and assembly operations like riveting, the release said. QuEST’s chairman and co-founder Aravind Melligeri said that setting up of the sheet metal processing facility would enable QuEST and its customers to graduate towards integrated sourcing and assemblies.

“It reiterates our commitment to set up an ecosystem for the supply chain catering to global aerospace industry requirement,” Mr. Melligeri said.

QuEST has appointed Nicholas Belbin as an advisory Board member at QuEST Manufacturing. — PTI
