This is a major milestone in TAL's progression towards world-class, long-term best-value offerings in the Aerospace domain. This has not only enhanced India's stature in the global aerospace supply chain network but also demonstrates TAL's capability to absorb new technologies and its commitment to be globally competitive. TAL's success is a testimony of a collaborative industrial relationship, wherein Boeing has developed and enabled world-class technology and global best practices in India. Today, TAL is the only non-US facility to supply the ACFB to Boeing for its 787-9 Dreamliner & will supply this component to the new soon-to-be-built 787-10 Dreamliner. The ACFB are shipped to Boeing partners in Italy, Japan and the United States.

Commenting on the occasion, Rajesh Khatri, ED & CEO, TAL, said, "The successful delivery of the 5000th ACFB to Boeing is a testimony to TAL's impeccable quality and delivery performance. We are the only supplier outside US to supply Advance Composite Floor Beams to Boeing for its 787-9 & 787-10 Dreamliner airplanes and this is a testament to the Make in India programme. We are proud of being the torch-bearer of Boeing's manufacturing footprint in India and aspire to be their most preferred partner."

Boeing India President, Pratyush Kumar called it a major milestone not just for Boeing and TAL but also for India. "This is not just any part," said Kumar "It represents a highly advanced form of composite manufacturing that enhances India's stature in the global supply-chain network of Boeing. This is an excellent example of India bringing value to Boeing, and Boeing bringing cutting-edge technology to India - a truly win-win partnership."
