Sigma signs GBP75m deal with Rolls-Royce
Sigma Components, which forms Avingtrans PLC's aerospace
division, has signed a ten year contract with Rolls-Royce valued at
more than GBP75m to supply pipe assemblies for a range of engine
programmes including the rapidly growing Trent XWB variants fitted
to the Airbus A350.
The 10-year contract follows the successful completion of
Sigma's acquisition of Rolls-Royce's internal pipe manufacturing
businesses in Nuneaton (UK) and Xi'an (China) for GBP3.5m, which
was announced on 29 January 2016.
Mark Johnson, Managing Director of Avingtrans' aerospace
division, said: "We're delighted to have completed this deal, which
cements our position on strategically important engine programmes
and provides a platform for growth across our product range in key
markets.
"The assemblies will be manufactured across our facilities in
the UK and China, providing a springboard for further recruitment
as programmes such as Trent XWB grow significantly in the coming
years."
Steve McQuillan, CEO of Avingtrans, said: "Sigma has developed a
strong working relationship with Rolls-Royce since 2006, becoming a
key delivery supplier in both home and emerging markets.
"Having recently expanded our capability in the UK and China, we
are delighted with the trust that Rolls-Royce is placing in Sigma
to deliver rigid pipes on key programmes.
"By delivering the contract across both our UK and Chinese
operations, we can offer Rolls-Royce significantly improved
commercial terms, combined with a confidence in the quality of
components developed over many years."
