Brisbane Based manufacturer Ferra Engineering has won the prestigious Boeing International Supplier of the Year award.

 

Ferra was selected from a pool of more than 17,5000 Boeing suppliers.

 

Ferra manufactures a range of parts for Boeing including:

 

  • Rudder pedals for Super Hornet fighter planes; and
  • Spare parts to Boeing B737, B747 and B757 commercial aeroplanes.

 

“This is an outstanding achievement. This is a testament to the capability of the Australian Defence industry – especially our small and medium sized businesses like Ferra,” Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare said.

 

Ferra won the work with Boeing through the Federal Government’s Global Supply Chain Program which facilitates opportunities for Australian industry to gain access to export markets with international defence primes.
