 Solestra Group, a leading North American precision manufacturing company, and aerospace manufacturer Jeh Aerospace have entered into a multi-year, multi-million-dollar partnership with the launch of a dedicated Global Manufacturing Center (GMC) at Jeh Aerospace’s Hyderabad facility. The new center has been established exclusively to support Solestra’s aerospace manufacturing programs, expanding production capacity while strengthening supply chain reliability and operational flexibility.
The agreement marks a significant milestone in the companies’ long-term collaboration and introduces a manufacturing model designed to move beyond conventional outsourcing. Instead of functioning as a standard subcontracting arrangement, the dedicated facility will operate as an integrated extension of Solestra’s manufacturing network, with dedicated production space, machinery and workforce aligned to the company’s engineering standards, quality systems and customer requirements.
The Global Manufacturing Center is expected to help Solestra accelerate new product introductions, improve manufacturing speed, enhance scalability and deliver competitive production costs while maintaining a single point of customer accountability. The facility also incorporates digital manufacturing practices, end-to-end production visibility and robust intellectual property protection, providing customers with greater confidence throughout the manufacturing process.
Solestra Group Chief Executive Officer Joe DeMartino said the collaboration represents a major step in strengthening the company’s ability to support increasingly sophisticated aerospace programs. He noted that the dedicated manufacturing center will enable Solestra to increase production capacity while allowing its North American facilities to focus on advanced manufacturing, complex assembly operations and customer engagement. According to Mr DeMartino, Jeh Aerospace’s rapid execution in establishing the facility demonstrated the company’s commitment and manufacturing capabilities, making it the ideal long-term partner.
Jeh Aerospace Founder and Chief Executive Officer Vishal Sanghavi said the new model has been built on decades of experience in establishing manufacturing partnerships for global aerospace original equipment manufacturers. The concept combines the advantages of a joint venture with the operational simplicity of a dedicated manufacturing partnership, allowing customers to gain the benefits of local production in India without the complexities associated with ownership or governance structures.
The Hyderabad facility also broadens Jeh Aerospace’s manufacturing capabilities by adding high-precision mechanical systems to its existing expertise in aero-engine and aerostructure components. Both organizations are certified to AS9100D standards and share a common focus on precision engineering, quality assurance, timely delivery and dependable supply chain performance.
