TAL Manufacturing Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Motors, delivered its first advanced composite floor beam for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Boeing.

The floor beam was produced in collaboration with Boeing by TAL at its dedicated facility in MIHAN SEZ in Nagpur.

A flag-off ceremony for the first floor beam was held in Nagpur June 17. "This is a major milestone in TAL's progression towards world class cost-effective offerings in the aerospace market", stated a release from Tata Motors.

Pratyush Kumar, Boeing India - President, said, "This is not just any part, it represents a highly advanced form of composite manufacturing that enhances India's stature in the global supply chain network of Boeing."

"Manufacturing composites for aerospace is a complex, demanding process," said Mr Kent Fisher, Vice President and General Manager of BCA Supplier Management. "We are pleased with the progress TAL has made in such a short period of time", he added.

TAL has positioned itself to ramp up production for 787-9 floor beams that are shipped to Boeing partners in Italy, Japan and the United States.
