Aerospace components manufacturer JJG Aero raises $12M in funding from CX Partners

Bengaluru-based aerospace components manufacturer JJG Aero has raised $12 million (Rs 100 crore) in inaugural funding from CX Partners.

The company said in a statement that it will use the raised capital to increase its manufacturing capacity at its new facility, further vertical integration, and other corporate initiatives.

What does JJG Aero do?

Established in 2008, JJG Aero specializes in manufacturing build-to-print high-precision machined components with in-house special process finishing capabilities.

While the Company is primarily focused on building its business in the commercial aerospace segment, its diverse capabilities are put to use with its customers in the automotive and industrial segments. The company claims to have notable clients, including marquee American & European OEMs and Tier-1 vendors.

CEO highlights rising demand in aerospace supply chain

“We have spent the last decade in building best-in-class capabilities, processes, compliance standards, customer relationships and obtaining requisite approvals and certifications, and we are now in the right place to grow rapidly. The aerospace supply chain is facing all-time high demand from aircraft manufacturers, which the legacy vendors in the Western world are struggling to meet," said Anuj Jhunjhunwala, CEO of JJG Aero.

"The global geopolitical issues, economic stability and Government support make India ideally placed to benefit from this. With our strengths and value proposition, we see ourselves emerging as a key player in the aerospace ecosystem. India has emerged as an attractive destination for sourcing components and parts by global leaders, and we are excited to be selected by so many marquee clients as a strategic growth vendor,” Jhunjhunwala added.

What did CX Partners say?

"We are thrilled to invest in JJG Aero, our first in this segment. JJG Aero has demonstrated remarkable growth, with a CAGR of 35% over the last three years. This investment will enable JJG Aero not only to continue on its growth path through capacity addition but also upgrade quality of earnings by focusing on higher value- added components," said Vivek Chhachhi, Managing Partner, CX Partners.

"Indian businesses have proven ability to provide high-quality products and services as an outsourcing partner to their customers. With strong industry tailwinds, we believe that aero-parts and component manufacturing is emerging as one more segment in India’s manufacturing outsourcing story. With its foray into manufacture of aero-engine components, we believe JJG Aero is well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and further solidify its presence in the market," Chhachhi added.
