PTC Industries news

PTC Industries informed about the order book update saying, “PTC Industries Limited, a leading manufacturer of high-quality engineering metal components, is pleased to announce that it has received a significant production order from BAE Systems for the supply of Titanium castings for the M777 Ultra-Lightweight Howitzer (ULH), including Spade Trails and Blades. PTC Industries developed these Titanium castings for M777 ULH over the last two years. This order marks a major milestone in PTC Industries’ ongoing relationship with BAE Systems and underscores the company’s technological prowess to supply mission-critical components for such advanced defence platforms.”

“PTC Industries will produce complex lightweight Titanium castings for the 155mm M777 ULH at its state-of-the-art production facility in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. This partnership is a testimony to PTC Industries’ capabilities in delivering high-precision components for critical defence applications. With a weight of about 4.2 MT, BAE Systems’ M777 ULH is the lightest towed howitzer gun. This considerable weight reduction is achieved due to the extensive use of thin-walled Titanium castings in the structure of the artillery gun, allowing the M777 to even be transportable by helicopter,” the company said in a press release available on the Indian exchanges.

Regarding the development, Sachin Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director of PTC Industries, said: “We are thrilled to receive this serial production order from BAE Systems for this significant project. This order enhances our partnership with BAE Systems. It showcases our proficiency in producing highly complex and thin-walled Titanium castings for such critical applications, making us amongst two to three companies with such capability. We provide top-quality products to support the defence sector and further the ‘Make in India – Make for the World’ initiative.”
