Strata to subcontract Vertical Fin and ATR Rudder work to GSE Industria Aeronautica

Abu Dhabi: Strata Manufacturing PJSC, a composite aerostructures manufacturing facility, wholly owned by Mubadala Development Company, today announced the signing of its first international outsourcing agreement that will subcontract its ATR vertical fin and rudder programmes to GSE Industria Aeronautica srl in Italy.

The eight year contract, valued at approximately $120 million, will include the delivery of 90 shipments per year to the final assembly line of the ATR aircraft in Toulouse, France. The first ATR rudder produced by GSE under this agreement is expected to be delivered in March of this year.

This new phase of development requires a range of skilled resources from the aerospace industry and deep understanding in aerostructures manufacturing, as the new supplier is trained to meet the on-time delivery of products in accordance with the rigorous and high quality standards expected by the aerospace industry.
