Sigma Advanced Systems has signed a seven-year long-term agreement with Rolls-Royce to manufacture and supply aerospace systems, strengthening its presence in the global aviation supply chain. The contract, valued at nearly £300 million, marks a significant milestone in the company’s international growth strategy and deepens its relationship with one of the world’s leading aerospace manufacturers.
The agreement provides Sigma Advanced Systems with a stable multi-year revenue stream and stronger visibility over future business growth. It also positions the company within critical global aerospace programmes that demand high levels of precision, reliability and engineering excellence.
Under the contract, Sigma Advanced Systems will manufacture and deliver a broad range of high-precision, safety-critical components and assemblies for Rolls-Royce aerospace programmes. Production will be carried out through the company’s integrated manufacturing network across India and the United Kingdom.
The partnership highlights Sigma Advanced Systems’ evolution from a component supplier to a globally integrated manufacturing partner capable of handling larger and more complex programme requirements. By using its India-UK dual-source operating model, the company combines cost-efficient scale and manufacturing strength in India with engineering collaboration, customer proximity and programme alignment in the UK.
Industry observers note that global aerospace manufacturers are increasingly looking for suppliers that can provide resilience, flexibility and geographically diversified production capability. Sigma Advanced Systems’ cross-border model is designed to meet these needs while maintaining consistent quality and delivery performance.
The agreement also builds on an existing business relationship between the two companies and reflects continued confidence in Sigma Advanced Systems’ operational capabilities. It reinforces the company’s progress in securing long-duration, high-value contracts within the aerospace sector.
Sunil Kumar Kalidindi, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Sigma Advanced Systems, said the partnership with Rolls-Royce reflects the successful execution of the company’s long-term strategy. He noted that investments made in building a connected India-UK platform, along with a strong focus on quality, dependability and lasting customer relationships, have helped position the company for opportunities of this scale.
He added that the agreement creates scope to further strengthen Sigma Advanced Systems’ participation in global aerospace programmes while continuing to expand capabilities across both regions. He also expressed appreciation for the confidence shown by Rolls-Royce through the award of the long-term contract.
As Sigma Advanced Systems expands its global footprint, agreements of this nature underline a broader shift in its business profile. The company is increasingly moving closer to the centre of the aerospace supply chain, taking on larger responsibilities in programmes where precision engineering, production scale and delivery certainty are essential.
The latest win also reflects growing confidence in Indian manufacturing capabilities within advanced engineering sectors. With a blended India-UK operating model, Sigma Advanced Systems is positioning itself as a strategic partner for aerospace customers seeking long-term value, technical expertise and globally connected manufacturing solutions.
