QuEST’s selection as EADS E2S preferred supplier for
engineering services, along with manufacturing capabilities,
ability to offer offset fulfillment and Risk Sharing
Partnerships, positions QuEST uniquely amongst Indian
aerospace players.
Bangalore, India, July 14, 2008 – QuEST, a leading
provider of outsourced engineering services and
manufacturing announced today that it has become the first
Indian private sector player qualified to offer end-to-end
solutions to EADS companies. QuEST supports its aerospace
customers on global programs related to aero structures,
engines, accessories, actuation systems, aircraft interiors
and ground support equipment.
Recently, QuEST was awarded the EADS E2S preferred supplier
status for engineering services. This distinction comes
after a stringent selection process by a distinguished EADS
panel for over 2 years. During this process, approximately
2000 suppliers were evaluated on various parameters ranging
from capability to infrastructure.
QuEST has been recognized as a quality supplier to the
aerospace industry through the
AS 9100 certification received for both engineering services
and manufacturing practices. QuEST’s services include design
and drafting/modeling, analysis/simulation, design
automation, technical documentation, instrumentation and
controls, electrical wiring/harness, avionics, embedded
systems, manufacturing engineering, prototyping, in-house
precision machining, sheet metal work and special
processing.
QuEST has earlier received Airbus approvals for engineering
services and manufacturing which helps to support various
current and upcoming Airbus programs. This is in addition to
various customer approvals from Airbus Tier 1 suppliers, for
manufacturing.
QuEST has also initiated the setting up of an aerospace
supply chain eco-system in its Special Economic Zone (SEZ)
which would be spread over 250 acres in Belgaum, North
Karnataka, India. This will be highly beneficial to EADS
from a point of view of being able to source fully finished
aerospace components and subassemblies from India.
QuEST is also licensed to carry out export controlled work
in the US. This is an additional benefit from QuEST that
would be useful to EADS in the event that it requires work
to be performed in the US for offset purposes.
“QuEST is uniquely positioned to support EADS, Airbus,
Eurocopter and their Tier 1 & 2 suppliers in their
globalization initiatives through the EADS E2S preferred
supplier award combined with QuEST’s end-to-end engineering
services and manufacturing offerings, accredited best in
class quality processes and a distinct roadmap for the
future” said Aravind Melligeri, Chairman & Co-founder,
QuEST.
