“This contract not only demonstrates the global competitiveness of Australian companies, but also is a testament to the success of the Australian government’s Office of Australian Industry Capability program,” said Peter Nicholls, managing director of Production Parts. “This program has enabled Production Parts to bid and win work with one of the world’s largest defence primes, and we look forward to a long term relationship and further opportunities with The Boeing Company.”
Production Parts also has contracts for components for the System Design and Demonstration phase of the F-35 JSF program.
