Tata Steel has inaugurated its second aerospace service centre in Xi’an at China thereby expanding its aerospace operations in the country. The company had opened its first service centre in Suzhou in 2009 with an aim to serve the growing demand for aerospace materials in the region.
The new facility which is approximately 600 miles south west of Beijing will serve a growing aerospace manufacturing base in the region, which already accounts for 40% of the total aerospace manufacturing capacity in China.
The supply chains for the Chinese state-owned aerospace companies COMAC and AVIC are the primary ones which drives the demand for aerospace material. Besides, the demand also includes from an increasing number of collaborations and joint ventures between existing Tata Steel customers, such as Safran, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, Rolls-Royce, Moog, Goodrich and Liebherr and state-owned companies that feed into these.
