Sigma Advanced Systems Limited (“Sigma”), a leading Indian aerospace and defence precision engineering company, has announced the acquisition of 100% equity share capital of Bromford Precision Solutions Limited (“Bromford”), a UK-based specialist manufacturer of high-precision aeroengine rings and complex engine structures. The transaction is valued at approximately GBP 11.89 million (around ₹153 crore) and is expected to be completed by the end of July 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The acquisition strengthens Sigma’s global aerospace manufacturing capabilities and expands its presence within the international aerospace supply chain. The transaction represents an enterprise value to adjusted EBITDA (CY2026 estimate) multiple of approximately 4.6x, reflecting Sigma’s focus on disciplined and strategic investments that create long-term value.
Bromford, established in 1988 and headquartered in Leicestershire, UK, specialises in the manufacture of complex aeroengine ring components and precision-machined structures, including compressor casings, ducts, brackets, and engine lock plates. The company has developed strong capabilities serving demanding aerospace and power generation markets, supported by approvals from leading original equipment manufacturers, including Rolls-Royce and Siemens.
The acquisition further strengthens Sigma’s relationship within the Rolls-Royce supply chain and complements the capabilities of its UK subsidiary, Nasmyth Group. While Sigma has established expertise in manufacturing larger structural components for global aerospace customers, Bromford adds complementary capabilities in precision ring manufacturing and additional engine components, creating a broader and more integrated offering for aerospace and power generation customers.
Sigma plans to leverage its operational expertise and global manufacturing model to drive further growth at Bromford. The value creation strategy includes improving operational efficiencies through capital investment and automation, expanding manufacturing capabilities by leveraging Sigma’s India-based production ecosystem, and increasing revenue opportunities through deeper engagement with global OEM customers and long-term supply agreements. Bromford’s experienced management team will continue to manage day-to-day operations, supported by Sigma’s leadership team and broader global capabilities.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sunil Kalidindi, Chief Executive Officer, Sigma Advanced Systems, said, “This acquisition strengthens Sigma’s position in one of the world’s most demanding aerospace supply chains. Bromford’s precision manufacturing capabilities complement our existing expertise, and together we are creating a highly capable platform for ring and casing manufacturing. We look forward to building on Bromford’s three decades of engineering excellence as part of Sigma’s global growth journey.”
The acquisition marks another step in Sigma’s transformation from an India-based precision engineering company into a globally integrated aerospace and defence manufacturing platform. With operations across India and the UK, Sigma is building a differentiated ecosystem that supports international customers while contributing to India’s growing role in global aerospace supply chains.
Sigma specializes in producing high-complexity and safety-critical components, assemblies, and systems across aerospace, defense, and emerging technology sectors. The company’s operations cover precision engineering, manufacturing, assembly integration, and advanced systems development for mission-critical applications.
