Aequs buys Texas-based T&K Machine

Aequs Aerospace, a Karnataka-based supplier in aerospace manufacturing, has acquired Paris, Texas-based T&K Machine.

In a statement issued on Monday, the company said the acquisition marks the first expansion of its manufacturing presence into the United States.

T&K Machine, which was founded in 1968, has over 45 years of experience in delivering quality parts to aerospace companies like Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, Triumph Aerostructures, and UTC Aerospace Systems.

“Aequs is committed to being an agile and reliable global supplier for our customers and, in line with this, we have become the first Indian aerospace manufacturer to expand into North America,” said Aravind Melligeri, chairman and CEO of Aequs.

In addition to 65 skilled machinists and technicians, the acquisition brings in a 27,000-square feet facility which houses 28 CNC machining centres complete with the engineering, quality, and assembly capabilities necessary to serve the global aerospace market.
Post acquisition, T&K Machine will be renamed as Aequs Aero Machine.
