Aircraft maker Boeing today said it has given a contract to CIM Tools for the manufacture of complex titanium machined parts and aluminum assemblies for its 787 Dreamliner and 737 airplanes.

CIM Tools, an MSME, would supply over 57,000 complex titanium machined parts, aluminum details and assemblies for Boeing 787 and 737 airplanes in coming years, Boeing said in a release.

The contract is in line with "Boeing's strategy in India to develop an indigenous aerospace and defense ecosystem to further support the Make in India initiative," it added.
