Trac Precision Solutions Embarks on Strategic Expansion to Strengthen AeroEngine and Power Generation Capabilities

Trac Precision Solutions (Trac), part of the PTC Industries Group, has announced a series of strategic capital investments to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and support the growing demands of global aerospace and industrial gas turbine (IGT) customers.

This expansion marks a pivotal step in Trac's long-term growth strategy, enabling the company to deliver greater capacity, precision, and technological depth for producing turbine blades and vanes - components essential to the performance, efficiency, and reliability of advanced aero-engines and power generation systems. By focusing on capability building and process innovation, Trac is positioning itself as a future-ready partner for some of the world's most complex and demanding engine programs.

As several nations, including India, accelerate the development of indigenous aero-engines, access to specialised manufacturing technologies remains a significant challenge. Certain processes required for intricate cooling features and complex geometries are closely held and often not fully transferred under technology partnerships. By investing in these advanced systems, Trac is bridging this global capability gap, ensuring that such technologies are available within the PTC Group and accessible to allied nations and customers worldwide.

Expanding Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Capabilities

Trac has added a new generation of advanced EDM machines to its production facilities from Sodick:

- High-Volume Precision Systems - Designed to support the growing demand for complex turbine blade and vane components, enabling exceptional accuracy and repeatability.

- Large-Format Systems - Built to handle complex, large-scale parts for both aerospace and power generation applications.

- Specialised Wire EDM Systems - Dedicated to internal tooling and electrode manufacturing, streamlining processes and ensuring consistent quality across production lines.

These systems will directly support Trac's work on the most intricate blade and vane designs, enabling the creation of advanced cooling passageways and complex geometries that are critical for engine performance and efficiency.

Smarter Space Utilisation with Automated Storage

To optimise manufacturing floor space and improve workflow, Trac has implemented a Modula automated storage and retrieval system. This intelligent solution provides secure and efficient management of fixtures and consumables, enhances traceability, and frees up valuable production space for high-value manufacturing activities.

"This kind of specialised technology represents the pinnacle of innovation in its field, highly sought after and recognised as industry-leading," said Liam Bevington, Managing Director of Trac Precision Solutions. "Through continued development of our capabilities, Trac is uniquely positioned to offer complete solutions for some of the most demanding blade and vane applications in the world, supporting both current programs and the next generation of engine designs."

Sachin Agarwal, Chairman & Managing Director of PTC Industries, added: "Our vision is to create a globally relevant ecosystem of advanced manufacturing capabilities. These investments at Trac reflect a commitment to supporting the world's journey toward technological self-reliance, while strengthening our group's position as a strategic partner for next-generation engine programs."

These developments represent a significant milestone in Trac's evolution - signalling its transformation into a larger, more capable organisation with the infrastructure to serve both current and future aerospace and energy programs. By combining world-class technology with deep domain expertise, Trac is setting the stage for sustainable growth and long-term leadership in high-precision manufacturing.
