QuEST has concluded a multi-year, strategic relationship with MAG Industrial Automation Systems.
QuEST has concluded a multi-year, strategic relationship with MAG Industrial Automation Systems, a leading machine tool and systems company serving key global industry sectors including powertrain, aerospace, heavy equipment, power generation and general machining.
As per the agreement, QuEST will provide MAG with integrated comprehensive support ranging from product development services to manufacturing process support for its customers.
QuEST's scope of work for MAG in product design will include product detailing support, CAD, Finite Element Analysis for MAG's global engineering businesses, while the manufacturing support activities will include cycle-time estimation, fixture design and manufacturing, tooling development, and the proving out of components on various MAG range of product platforms.
In addition to adding dedicated engineering capabilities, MAG intends to establish a technical demonstration centre (TDC) at QuEST, where MAG's broad portfolio of products and technologies will be showcased.
"India is a country which today represents a significant market as well as a reliable source for engineering and manufacturing".
"Increased outsourcing activity to India by the aerospace and automotive industries has driven demand for machine tools".
"MAG is very excited and optimistic about expanding its installed base in the Indian market", said Roger W Cope, President, MAG Industrial Automation Systems.
"QuEST's comprehensive engineering services complement MAG's outstanding talent in engineering and process knowledge".
"The combination will generate value for MAG and its global customers".
"We are indeed delighted and privileged to have been selected by MAG as their partner of choice for providing them with product detailing and manufacturing support for all their business units globally", said Aravind Melligeri, President, QuEST.
"This is a highly significant customer win for QuEST, as it demonstrates the expansion of our offering beyond the traditional design and development support and extends to other areas in the product development life cycle, and encompasses emerging areas such as manufacturing support all under one roof".
Melligeri further added: "High-end technology organisations such as MAG have clearly seen value in partnering with QuEST".
"Our focus on pure-play engineering enables us to be a value adding partner to several of our strategic customers and we plan to replicate this model of engagement that MAG has chosen with several others of our strategic customers".
A dedicated team of QuEST engineers has been working to support MAG requirements for close to 12 months.
This team is expected to increase as the companies work to serve the global manufacturing market.
