PTC Industries Limited has signed an agreement with BAE Systems at the recent DefExpo 2022 held in Gandhinagar, Gujarat to manufacture titanium castings for the Indian 155mm M777 Ultra-Lightweight Howitzer.
Up to 166 jobs have been put at risk at BAE Systems Barrow site. Jobs at the Weapons Systems UK business in the Barrow site are at risk after the company began an 18-month consultation process. Those at risk are primarily people working in the production facility for the M777 – a large artillery gun. A BAE spokesperson said: “BAE Systems’ Weapon Systems UK business is proud of our long manufacturing record at the Barrow facility. However, a significant reduction in our production workload means that we do not consider it viable for us to maintain our artillery and naval guns manufacturing capability at this site into the future.
