  • Chicago based US airplane maker Boeing Company today announced it has entered into an agreement with India based TAL Manufacturing Solutions Limited for manufacturing structural components for its latest flagship product 787 Dreamliner. The TAL Manufacturing Solutions Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors Limited. However, the company refused to disclose the financial terms of the agreement.

    Under the agreement, TAL Manufacturing Solutions will build floor beams for the 787 using new technology with advanced titanium and composite materials. These floor beams will be used on the 787 Dreamliner and provide for a best-value solution and significant weight savings.

    The floor beams for the 787 airplane will be produced at TAL’s new facility in Nagpur, India, and then transported to Boeing partners in Japan, Italy and the United States for further assembly.

    “Boeing is proud to welcome Tata into its family of world-class aerospace suppliers and we are confident that this partnership will help Boeing and Tata leverage mutual best-value capabilities,” said Carolyn Corvi, vice president and general manager of Airplane Programs for Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

    “The production of Boeing’s structural components by TAL indicates technical and manufacturing excellence within the Group,” said Ravi Kant, chairman, TAL and managing director, Tata Motors Ltd.
