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.
