Toronto, Ontario 13 October 2016 – Magellan Aerospace (“Magellan”) and The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) announced today the signing of new long-term contracts for the supply of complex titanium machined components for the 777X program. These components will be manufactured by Magellan’s facilities in New York, NY and Kitchener, ON.
