Denmark,United States : Pratt & Whitney and Multicut A/S Sign Long Term Agreement for F135 Components
Publish Date : 05-Nov-2015
Pratt & Whitney, a United Technologies Corp. company, has awarded a contract to Multicut A/S to manufacture F135 engine components. The F135 engine is the propulsion system for the fifth generation F-35 Lightning II aircraft.
Multicut A/S, a precision component manufacturer located in Vildjberg, Denmark, has received this award for F135 engine components. This 10-year long term procurement agreement signals the beginning of a relationship between Pratt & Whitney and Multicut and positions Multicut well for follow on F135 opportunities of increasing value.
"This award reaffirms Pratt & Whitney's commitment to F135 engine industrial participation in Denmark," said Bennett Croswell, president, Pratt & Whitney Military Engines. "Multicut competed globally and was selected as the best value supplier of these engine components, and will play a valuable role in our global supply chain for the F135 engine."
"We are delighted to have earned the trust of Pratt & Whitney to manufacture and deliver these key components for the F135 engine," said Lars Rasmussen, chief executive officer, Multicut Global. "Our business is focused on delivering high-quality products at competitive prices. Our contribution to the F135 engine helps ensure jobs and technology know-how remain an essential part of our local industry and a key support to the needs of Danish Defence."
Should it be selected, the F-35 will replace Denmark's aging F-16 aircraft with an affordable, sustainable, and highly capable fifth-generation aircraft. The F-35 program includes partners from nine countries Australia, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States as well as three foreign military sales customers Israel, Japan and South Korea.
