Magellan Aerospace inks long term deal with Pratt & Whitney

Magellan Aerospace has signed a six year agreement with Pratt & Whitney to manufacture aluminum castings for their next-gen engines, powering the Airbus A320neo, Airbus A220 (formerly known as Bombardier C-Series), Embraer E2 series and Mitsubishi MRJ aircraft.

The castings will be produced at Magellan’s facilities in Haley, Ont., and Glendale, Ariz.

"This new agreement will provide Pratt & Whitney with enhanced security of supply with Magellan internally dual sourcing these castings between two manufacturing facilities in Canada and the USA, significantly de-risking the supply chain," said Haydn Martin, Magellan’s vice president, business development, marketing and contracts.

"Magellan will utilize the latest in advanced sand casting technologies, specifically 3D sand printing and automated pouring to produce these components," Martin added.

The agreement is expected to generate approximately C$81 million inrevenue for Magellan through 2023.
