Magellan Aerospace Corporation has signed significant long-term agreements with Pratt & Whitney. These contracts renew existing agreements and cover the supply of complex castings used on a number of legacy and new engine programs. Magellan’s Haley, Ontario facility and its Glendale, Arizona facility will produce the castings.

The company says that the renewal of these agreements is a testament to the long-standing business relationship Magellan and Pratt & Whitney have enjoyed since the 1960s and secures the collaboration for the next period of performance. Magellan supplies complex castings for civil and defence, fixed-wing and rotorcraft programs across the globe.

“These agreements mark a major milestone for our companies, leveraging our expertise and innovations to achieve shared success,” says Haydn Martin, Magellan’s Vice President, Business Development, Marketing and Contracts.

Magellan manufactures highly complex components for the commercial and defence aerospace market including engine housings, gearboxes, and front frame and fan cases. Magellan is a key player in the optimisation of 3D sand printing, automated pouring and finishing, robotics and digital radiography to achieve the highest standard of product and performance while remaining cost competitive.
