Hyderabad-based firm Azad Engineering has won a contract from Boeing to manufacture and supply critical aviation components and parts for the global aerospace company’s products.

It will begin delivering the critical components, including hydraulic and mechanical fittings, to Boeing from first quarter of 2022. “The contract is a testament to our commitment to quality, precision and collaborative culture. The cooperation between Azad Engineering and Boeing is a milestone in the growing aerospace ecosystem in Telangana,” said Rakesh Chopdar, owner and MD.

Azad Engineering, focused on manufacture of complex and super-critical components and machined parts for the turbine and aerospace industry, has a plant in Jeedimetla here. It plans to set up a second manufacturing facility in Hyderabad with an investment of $80 million over the next 36 months.
