Lovitt Technologies lands Boeing V-22 contract

Boeing has awarded Lovitt Technologies Australia a new contract to supply subassemblies for the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft.

Boeing has reinforced its commitment to Australian industry and has issued contracts totaling more than US$285 million to highly skilled Australian companies over the past five years through the Boeing Office of Australian Industry Capability (OAIC).

“Boeing is part of the fabric of the Australian defence and aerospace industry,” said Ian Thomas, president of Boeing Australia & South Pacific.

Lovitt, based in Melbourne, has been manufacturing subassemblies and other parts for the V-22 since 2012.

“This new contract is evidence that we have successfully demonstrated our capabilities to the V-22 program,” said Marcus Ramsey, managing director of Lovitt Technologies.

“Through our partnership with the Global Supply Chain Program and Boeing, we are seeing more opportunities and winning more work.”
