Wipro Infrastructure Engineering starts work on construction of second plant in Bengaluru:

10 September 2019: Wipro Infrastructure Engineering has broken ground for a new plant in Aerospace Special Economic Zone at Devanahalli. The Aerospace business of Wipro Infrastructure Engineering has started the construction of its second plant in the city, which will house Aerostructure Machining and Surface Treatment Lines for aerospace components and would employ about 300 people.

The new plant in Devanahalli is spread over ten acres and will come up in phases. In the first phase, machining operations will begin in the first quarter of 2020. In the second, surface treatment lines for aerospace components will start by 2021, adding that when the new facility is fully operational, it would employ about 300 people.

The first plant has a total area of seven acres and manufactures hydraulic actuator parts for landing gears and engine cowl opening systems. In January this year, the Wipro Aerospace started deliveries to Boeing from this plant.

"We believe in building an integrated ecosystem for precision flight-critical components and systems. This is important to our success. Once the second plant becomes operational, our facilities will be spread over 17 acres in the SEZ in Devanahalli," said Wipro Infrastructure Engineering CEO Pratik Kumar.

"Over the years Wipro Aerospace has built its capability in precision actuator and aerostructure parts. With this expansion, we will be well positioned for assembly and testing of actuators as well as critical landing system structural assemblies," said Head of Aerospace Business in India Srinivas Devareddy.
