Indian engineering services provider HCL Technologies is here to trumpet credentials established by its recent selection as a Tier 1 supplier by European aerospace conglomerate EADS.
On the eve of the show EADS named HCL as one of just 28 preferred suppliers out of an existing pool of more than two thousand.
“This is a further example of the growing strategic relationship between the aerospace industry and India,” says Rajeev Sawhney, the company’s president for Europe. “With the breadth and depth of our aerospace engineering expertise, we have been at the forefront in developing that relationship.”
EADS currently spends about €2 billion a year on engineering services such as research, modelling, flight physics and design. HCL supplies EADS with product engineering and technical publication services via the group’s design centre in Bangalore.
HCL Technologies works from locations in 18 countries and serves a number of sectors besides aerospace, including financial services, retail and consumer, life sciences and healthcare, telecoms, and media and entertainment.
