This long-term agreement puts the relationship between the two companies on a new partnership level. That will allow us to purchase rough parts on privileged conditions and will make the transactions more transparent for both parties while fully ensuring the on-time delivery of the end product, namely our engines to the customer. To our partner this long-term contract guarantees a stable loading of their production capacity which will also allow to pre-plan production of rough parts and enter into long-term agreements with suppliers of rough parts”.
