What Aero Fasteners does

Aero Fasteners Pvt. Ltd., founded in 2012 and headquartered in Rohtak, Haryana, manufactures precision aerospace fasteners and machined components for the aerospace, space, and defence industries. The company produces high-strength bolts, screws, nuts, washers, rivets, and inserts to MS, NAS, AS, EN, ISO, ASME, and DIN specifications, alongside custom and special parts including precision bushes and high-temperature seals, using aerospace-grade raw materials such as titanium, Inconel, A286, and PH stainless steels. Its core competitive proposition is full vertical integration under a single roof: hot and cold forging, CNC machining, thread rolling, heat treatment, non-destructive testing, and final inspection, supported by an in-house NABL-accredited metrology and materials laboratory. The operating model is direct enterprise sales of bespoke, quote-priced parts against customer purchase orders, with deliveries on EXW (Ex Works) terms and occasional co-engineering and special-process service revenue. The company holds AS9100 Rev D, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 17025 (NABL) certifications, placing it among a small group of Indian manufacturers qualified to supply flight-critical hardware to aerospace and defence OEMs.

In March 2026, Italian aerospace fastener manufacturer Poggipolini S.p.A. acquired a majority stake in Aero Fasteners, integrating the Indian operation into Poggipolini's global network as its designated Asia-Pacific manufacturing hub. Aero Fasteners continues to operate under existing management while gaining access to Poggipolini's European engineering, materials, and qualification expertise, and to its international customer base spanning aerospace, motorsport, and high-performance automotive segments. The acquisition is positioned to capitalise on India's 'Make in India' and 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' policy environment, which favours indigenous supply chain development in the country's fifth-largest defence market. For FY ended March 2025, the company reported revenue of Rs 33.6 crore (approximately USD 4 million).

Revenue model

1. Aerospace Fastener Sales: Aero Fasteners generates revenue through the manufacture and sale of precision aerospace fasteners (bolts, screws, nuts, washers, rivets, inserts) and precision-machined components to aerospace, space, and defence customers. Revenue is primarily one-time transactional sales of physical products against customer purchase orders, with no recurring subscription component.
2. Co-Engineering and Special Process Services: The company offers co-engineering collaboration with customers to create innovative solutions for new challenging projects, and provides special process services including destructive and non-destructive testing. These represent ancillary service revenue alongside product sales.
