TIGHITCO, a leading aerospace manufacturing supplier, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Bombardier business jet statement of work at its Latin America facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico. This expansion comes as a result of the latest award from MHI Canada Aerospace (MHICA) to support sheet metal manufacturing for the Bombardier Global 5500/6500 and Challenger 350 aircraft platforms.

TIGHITCO has been a trusted supplier for Bombardier business jet programmes for many years. With this latest award from MHICA, TIGHITCO will continue to provide high-quality sheet metal manufacturing services for Bombardier's aircraft platforms.

TIGHITCO holds a large breadth of OEM qualifications and supports both OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.

"This latest award from MHICA is a testament to TIGHITCO's commitment to providing exceptional services and products to its customers," said Mark Withrow, CEO & President of TIGHITCO. "We are excited to continue supporting Bombardier's business jet programmes and look forward to further strengthening our relationship with MHICA."

The company's state-of-the-art facilities, highly skilled workforce, and dedication to continuous improvement have made it a preferred supplier for many leading aerospace companies.

"We appreciate the opportunity to continue supporting MHICA and expanding our presence within commercial aerospace programmes," said Humberto Santiago, VP/COO of TIGHITCO Latin America. "Our team remains focused on executing a successful industrialisation process while delivering the quality, responsiveness, and customer support our customers expect."
