Under these agreements, CTRM will expand its capabilities to include deliveries of larger, more complex components and composite assemblies for long-term programmes.
These agreements further the strategic cooperation between CTRM and Goodrich Aerostructures business unit. CTRM has been a component supplier to Goodrich Aerostructures since 2004.
The Goodrich contract increases CTRM’s current book order of RM3 billion to approximately RM6.5 billion. The company expects this to increase to RM8.5 billion by the end of the year as new contracts from various customers are concluded.
