PTC Industries Wins Major Titanium Castings Order from BAE Systems

On September 27, 2024, PTC Industries Limited, known for its high-quality engineering metal components, announced a significant production order from BAE Systems. 

This order involves supplying Titanium castings for the M777 Ultra-Lightweight Howitzer (ULH), specifically for parts like Spade Trails and Blades. The development of these castings took 2 years, marking a key milestone in PTC Industries’ relationship with BAE Systems and showcasing its technological capabilities in producing critical components for advanced defence systems.

PTC Industries will manufacture these lightweight Titanium castings at its modern facility in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The M777 ULH, weighing approximately 4.2 metric tons, is the lightest towed howitzer available, thanks to the extensive use of thin-walled Titanium castings, which make it transportable by helicopter.

The castings from PTC Industries are essential for the M777 ULH, which is known for its mobility and excellent performance. The company’s advanced manufacturing process has been designed to provide long-term support for the M777 systems. This order further establishes PTC Industries as a leader in producing high-quality titanium castings for critical defence applications.

Commenting on this development, Mr 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 not only enhances our partnership with BAE Systems but also showcases our proficiency in producing highly complex and thin-walled Titanium castings for such critical applications, making us amongst two to three companies in the world who have such capability. We provide top-quality products to support the defence sector and further the ‘Make in India – Make for the World’ initiative.”
