Engineering (WIN) Thursday announced that it has commenced

shipments of parts supplies to Boeing from its plant at

Devanahalli near here.

WIN said Boeing has contracted Wipro Aerospace to

manufacture strut assemblies for the 737 MAZ and

Next-Generation 737 airplane programmes.

It said that the two companies have partnered together

in the last few years, expanding the level of support the

Aerospace division provides to the jet manufacturer.

WIN has provided various aerostructures and

componentry for the 737, 767 and 787 Dreamliner programs

through its facility in Israel, the company said in a

statement.

"Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) like Boeing

source systems and components from India, and our expertise

with aerostructures and actuators provide a viable option for

OEMs," Pratik Kumar, CEO, Wipro Infrastructure Engineering,

said.

Ashwani Bhargava, Director, Supply Chain, Boeing

India, said, "Boeing's partnerships with Indian suppliers play

an important part in Boeing's global strategy.

Boeing's agreement with Wipro Aerospace demonstrates

our commitment to developing the aerospace industry in India."
