Sunita Tools Limited has incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Sunita Defence Inc, in the United States (US) to pursue defence and aerospace opportunities. The company said the subsidiary will enable bidding, quoting and supplying of current and future defence products to multiple US entities. The move is intended to support commercial engagement in the North American market and to explore acquisitions in the defence, aerospace and engineering sectors.

The subsidiary will be led by Abheshek Satish Pandey as president, who holds degrees in aerospace, space and astronautics engineering from the United Kingdom and a master's in management information systems and business analytics from the United States. His qualifications and experience are described as aligning with the company's objective of presenting products to major US firms and identifying acquisition targets in aerospace and defence. His remuneration will commence on the start of subsidiary revenue.

Sunita Tools Limited has more than 37 years of experience in the engineering and mould base industry and manufactures ground plates, mould bases and precision CNC machining products. The company has begun manufacturing 155 mm M107 shells and holds an interim sales contract for that product. Its offerings support automotive, pharmaceutical, electronics, consumer goods, aerospace and defence sectors and undergo rigorous quality testing before delivery.

The company emphasised its strength in delivering customised, high quality products alongside design guidance and after-sales technical support, and highlighted senior management engagement to address partner concerns promptly. Management characterised the establishment of the US subsidiary as a strategic step towards becoming an international defence products manufacturer and to meet demand for 155 mm shells in the US market. The company noted forward looking statements are subject to risks and undertook no obligation to update such statements publicly. The company provided contact details for investor and regulatory communications and media queries.
