The team is over 5,000 strong, and they work with major clients like Airbus, Boeing, Collins Aerospace, Safran and other top consumer brands.

Core Products & Services

• Aerospace Manufacturing: They handle machining, forging, surface treatment and assembling aerospace parts. This includes structural panels and aircraft doors.
• Consumer Durable Goods: They make cookware, appliances and are moving into smart devices and electronics. It’s all built under one roof — from design to finished product.
• Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO): They’ve started an MRO center (with Magellan Aerospace) for turboprop engines, which adds more muscle to their aerospace work.
• Cluster-based Manufacturing: They run India’s first Aerospace SEZ in Belagavi. Also have big setups in Hubballi (for durables) and Koppal (for toys). These clusters support full-scale production for OEMs and global players.

Business Model & Revenue Streams

• Direct Sales: They make and sell precision parts, sub-assemblies and full products to major brands in aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods.
• Integrated Manufacturing Services: From product design to delivery — they offer full-service packages including warehousing and logistics, often through long-term deals.
• MRO Services: They’ve added aerospace repair and maintenance work — it’s a newer area that’s starting to grow.
• Cluster Ecosystem Fees: They also earn by providing space and services to suppliers working inside their clusters — kind of like a shared manufacturing campus.
