Magellan Aerospace to Supply Pratt & Whitney Canada
Magellan Aerospace, Toronto, has signed a 10-year
agreement with Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), Longueuil, Quebec, Canada, a United Technologies Company. The agreement is for Magellan to supply com- plex magnesium and aluminum castings to the aircraft engine manufacturer. The castings reportedly will be produced primarily by
Magellan’s Haley, Ontario division, with several being produced at its Glendale, Ariz., plant in the U.S. The agreement is expected to represent approximately $209 million U.S. in revenue for Magellan Aerospace through 2023. In addition to the legacy casting programs for
P&WC’s current engine platforms, the agreement in- cludes the production of castings for Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower engine family, which encompasses the Airbus A320 neo, Mitsubishi Regional Jet, and Bombardier CSeries programs. “This 10-year agreement demonstrates P&WC’s con-
fidence in Magellan’s ability to produce some of the most complex sand cast geometries in the industry,” said Phil- lip Underwood, president and CEO, Magellan. “Magel- lan has invested and will continue to invest in innovative new technologies such as robotics and 3D sand printing to meet its commitment to achieve the highest standard of product and performance.” “The solid working relationship we have developed with Magellan over the past 50 years will continue to benefit both companies for many years to come,” said Irene Makris, vice president, Supply, Management, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “These are highly complex engine components and we’re confident that Magellan can consistently meet our demanding technical and qual- ity specifications.”
