26 Jun 2026 CW Team

Joe DeMartino, chief executive officer of Solestra, said in a statement that customers require a manufacturing partner able to accelerate innovation without compromising quality, compliance or execution. He said the Global Manufacturing Centre expands the group's ability to support New Product Introduction (NPI), increase capacity and speed industrialisation while providing a single point of accountability. The centre is intended to assist product industrialisation and to deliver competitive manufacturing solutions for major aerospace programmes.

Vishal Sanghavi, founder and chief executive officer of Jeh Aerospace, described the initiative as a response to long-standing industry practices that prioritised local efficiency and transactional supply models over resilience. He said the company drew on two decades of experience building and operating India joint ventures for global original equipment manufacturers to design an alternative model. The alternative was presented as capturing the benefits of India's joint ventures while removing associated administrative and operational burdens.

Officials said the facility will enhance New Product Introduction capabilities, increase manufacturing capacity and support faster industrialisation for global aerospace customers. They added that the centre would enable tighter integration between design and production teams, reduce time to market for new assemblies and provide scaled support for series production requirements. The development is positioned as strengthening supply chain resilience and as a platform for future collaborative engineering and production programmes.
