Bankstown. Quickstep wins contract

Advanced manufacturer, Quickstep, has a contract valued between $75 million and $100 million to make carbon fibre wing flaps for C130J Hercules military transport aircraft. Quickstep is currently relocating its operations from Western Australia and establishing a state-o- the-art carbon fibre manufacturing facility at Bankstown Airport.

“This is a major win against manufacturers from around the world to become the sole supplier of carbon fibre wing flaps for C130J Hercules military transport aircraft,” NSW Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Stoner, said. The Hercules contract will be Quickstep's second major aerospace win for its new Bankstown facility.
