BIKAR AEROSPACE METALS, one of the leading suppliers of aerospace aluminium, is expanding its capacities with two new production facilities in Bristol, United Kingdom, and AEQUS Belagavi, India. With these strategic investments, the company is consistently continuing its expansion in aerospace markets and strengthening its global presence.
Since 2016, BIKAR has been certified as an aerospace supplier according to DIN EN 9120 and has since established itself as a reliable supplier in the aerospace market. As a one-stop shop for aluminium, titanium, and superalloys, BIKAR offers its customers everything from a single source – from material procurement and storage to customised processing and worldwide delivery. With comprehensive value-added services such as specialised material processing, certification, and logistics solutions, BIKAR has been shaping the market for decades. Short delivery times, innovative digital end-to-end solutions and a sales team of aviation experts make the company a reliable partner in the contract and spot business.
The establishment of our own production facilities in the UK and India was a logical step for the company to further expand the market for its service offerings. “With the new locations in Bristol and Belagavi, we are optimally positioned to further advance our internationalisation strategy in the aerospace business,” says Alexander Bikar, Managing Director of BIKAR AEROSPACE METALS. He adds, “This expansion enables us to respond more quickly to market demands and offer our customers customised solutions for their semi-finished material needs”.
A strategy that is paying off. Since this year, BIKAR has become the new main supplier for Sonaca Belgium. The long-term contract includes comprehensive procurement, warehousing, processing and picking services for aluminium aerospace plates and sheets.
