Toronto, Ontario – 6 March 2023 – Magellan Aerospace Corporation (“Magellan”) announced today the signing of a significant long-term agreement (“LTA”) extension with Collins Aerospace (“Collins”), a Raytheon Technologies business, to manufacture complex magnesium and aluminum castings for various military and commercial aerospace platforms. The castings will be produced by Magellan’s facilities in Renfrew, Ontario and Glendale, Arizona.
The extension of this LTA with Collins renews the framework for strategic alignment with Magellan; in addition to F-15, F-16, and F-18 castings for Collins legacy programs, the agreement also encompasses the supply of castings to support F-35 Lightning II, KC-46, A320neo, 787 and 777X programs.
