TUBACEX and ITP Aero, a major aero engine and components manufacturer, have signed a new commercial attachment to their existing Long-Term Agreement, extending and detailing their collaboration across several key engine programs.
The agreement is executed between Industria de Turbo Propulsores, S.A. (ITP Aero) and Salem, the Tubacex Group’s U.S.-based company specialized in precision seamless stainless steel and high-nickel alloy tubing for the aerospace industry. TUBACEX’s contribution is underpinned by its vertically integrated model, covering the full advanced-materials value chain, from alloy design in metallurgy labs, through melting and tube manufacturing, to the delivery of high-precision tubing designed to operate in high-pressure, high-temperature and high-vibration environments.
Through this attachment, TUBACEX will support ITP Aero across a balanced portfolio of platforms: the TP400 turboprop (powering the Airbus A400M), the Pratt & Whitney GTF™ engine family, the V2500 (Airbus A320ceo), and Pratt & Whitney Canada engines, including the PW800 family. The V2500 program also supports the decarbonization pathway of short and medium-haul fleets, as it can operate with blends of up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and conventional jet fuel.
