TORONTO, July 7, 2010 - Magellan Aerospace Corporation announced today that an agreement has been
reached between Airbus and Magellan Aerospace (UK) Limited securing a further
major work package on Airbus' new A350 XWB. It is expected to generate
revenues in excess of $60 million over the next ten years.
The package consists of a number of complex machined aluminium detail
components and assemblies that form the structure of the Pylon body. In
selecting Magellan, Airbus reconfirms its continued confidence in Magellan's
advanced capabilities.
Jim Butyniec, Magellan's President and CEO, discussed the importance of
participation on the A350 XWB program and Magellan's continued drive to
secure major work packages on Airbus' and Boeing's future aircraft. He
commented, "This package, together with Magellan's existing A350 work on the
Centre Wing Box for Airbus France, consolidates Magellan's position on this
exciting new program."
Initial production will utilise existing capacity at Magellan's
facilities in the UK at Bournemouth and Wrexham, with substantial investment
in new high technology equipment to be phased in as the production rate
increases from 2012. These future investments demonstrate Magellan
Corporation's commitment to developing world class manufacturing facilities
focussed on core competencies.
