American Aerospace & Defense Industry Looks to Build Partnerships at Aero India 2017

Recent United States’ designation of India as a “Major Defense Partner” plus “Make in India” initiative, sets the stage for stronger ties on trade, manufacturing & supply.


BENGALURU, India and WALDWICK, NJ/February 8, 2017 — Against the backdrop of India’s three-year-old “Make in India” initiative and the country’s designation by the U.S. last year as a “Major Defense Partner,” American aerospace and defense suppliers are looking to gain a stronger foothold in this fast-growing and strategically vital market during Aero India 2017, February 14 through 18 in Bengaluru.

U.S. Pavilion at Aero India 2015Nearly 30 of America’s leading manufacturers and suppliers, many with proven operating partnerships already in-country, are participating in this year’s show. From airframes and engines to materials and components, U.S. exhibitors at Aero India represent a wide scope of the nation’s most innovative and reliable aerospace and defense solutions.

The centerpiece of the national effort is the USA Partnership Pavilion, organized by Kallman Worldwide, Inc., in coordination with numerous government agencies, including the departments of Commerce, Defense and State. Located prominently in Hall E, the Pavilion is a well-established destination for buyers looking for an efficient way to meet a critical mass of leading suppliers, an on-site business center for U.S. exhibitors looking to maximize their exposure and impact at the event, and a networking forum for all to share ideas and insights.

“From publicly traded stalwarts to privately held small-and-medium-sized enterprises [SMEs], U.S. exhibitors are here because they value India as an ally and believe in the power of this event to attract real business prospects and customers,” said Kallman Worldwide President and CEO, Tom Kallman. “As the organizer of the USA Partnership Pavilion for the fourth consecutive edition of the show, our team is proud to help our exhibitors capitalize on this opportunity to further strengthen our nation’s bilateral defense and economic partnership with India.“Hartzell Propeller at Aero India 2015

In addition to organizing the national Pavilion, Kallman is rolling out its “Ask America” advocacy campaign inviting show attendees to visit U.S. exhibitors. The “Ask America” message will be placed prominently on-site, integrated into hospitality and VIP events during the show, and promoted in social media (follow on Twitter @kallmanEWC).

“The United States is among the biggest international exhibitors at Aero India because it’s the world’s biggest aerospace and defense supplier, but that’s no guarantee buyers will look to work with U.S. companies over others,” said Kallman. “On behalf of the USA Partnership Pavilion, we have a responsibility to advocate not only for our exhibitors but for our nation in this highly competitive global marketplace.

“We invite every Aero India 2017 visitor to ask America because we are listening,” he said. “Whether as manufacturing, supply chain or service partners, the United States is committed to our trade and investment partnerships in India, we bring smart ideas to the table and we have the best-skilled workforce ready to do the job.”
