One of the leading aircraft engine and component makers globally, ITP Aero, opened its India office in Hyderabad on Wednesday and announced plans to increase capacity and double the headcount of its manufacturing facility in the city.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Rolls Royce, UK, ITP Aero is upbeat about the growth prospects. “The company is increasing its production capacity to cater to the constantly-growing demands of customers. We also have plans to further recruit skilled workforce,” ITP Externals MD Jesus Catalina said.
ITP Aero operates in India through a subsidiary that employs 160 people in Hyderabad. The new office at IDA Gandhinagar here was opened by Telangana Government’s Director of Aerospace and Defence Praveen PA.
“Our Hyderabad plant is dedicated exclusively to the production of end fittings and brackets for subsequent welding onto rigid tubes for aircraft engines. Its activity is expected to grow significantly in the coming years together with an evolution towards more complex products,” Mr. Catalina said.
