<h1>Defence and Aerospace Major Sigma Advanced Systems Deepens Rolls-Royce Partnership with £125m Additional Long-Term Agreement</h1>

Sigma Advanced Systems has secured a substantial new long-term contract with Rolls-Royce through its recently acquired UK subsidiary, Bromford Precision Solutions. This deal demonstrates the immediate strategic value of the acquisition and significantly expands the Group's long-term relationship with one of the world's leading aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Valued at nearly £125 million, the agreement builds upon the existing Rolls-Royce long-term contract, which was valued at approximately £300 million. The combined agreements broaden the Group's product offerings, manufacturing capabilities, and content across critical aerospace programs, substantially strengthening Sigma's position within the Rolls-Royce UK supply chain while increasing long-term revenue visibility.

The acquisition of Bromford adds highly complementary manufacturing expertise in aero engine rings and casings, along with advanced precision manufacturing capabilities. Under the terms of the new agreement, Bromford will manufacture aeroengine rings, casings, lock plates, and other critical engine structures across both Sigma's India and UK manufacturing facilities. This integrated approach establishes a comprehensive dual-source solution as directed by Rolls-Royce.

This contract highlights the successful strategic rationale behind Sigma's acquisition of Bromford. By introducing complementary products and specialist manufacturing expertise, Bromford immediately expands Sigma's addressable market with existing customers. This move accelerates the Group's progression toward higher-value, program-level aerospace partnerships. Furthermore, the agreement secures Bromford's long-term future as a key UK manufacturing site within the Group, safeguarding skilled engineering and manufacturing jobs and reinforcing the resilience of the UK's critical aerospace manufacturing base.

Sunil Kalidindi, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Sigma Advanced Systems, stated that the agreement marks a strong indicator of the growth of India's precision engineering and defence-aerospace manufacturing base. He noted that global OEMs like Rolls-Royce are increasingly looking to India not just for cost advantage, but for engineering depth, quality, and scale. By combining Bromford's UK capabilities with the integrated India manufacturing network, the company can offer a genuinely global, dual-source solution.

With Nasmyth and Bromford operating as complementary businesses within Sigma's UK aerospace platform, the Group continues to execute its strategy of building scale through targeted acquisitions. These acquisitions aim to deepen customer relationships, broaden technical capability, and increase participation in high-value, long-duration aerospace programs.
