QuEST Global becomes the first Indian private sector company to directly manufacture aerostructure parts for Airbus under a long-term agreement. This distinction comes after Airbus' stringent selection process where QuEST Global demonstrated capabilities in manufacturing, infrastructure, and ability to offer offset fulfillment. The agreement will see QuEST Global support various Airbus programs in both manufacturing and design from its integrated manufacturing facility in Bangalore and aerospace supply chain ecosystem located in its Special Economic Zone in Belgaum, India.
