BIKAR Aerospace Metals expands global footprint with new production facilities in Bristol and Belagavi

BIKAR Aerospace Metals, a leading supplier of aerospace aluminium, is expanding its operations with two new production facilities in Bristol, UK, and Belagavi, India, at AEQUS. These strategic investments reflect the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in global aerospace markets.

“The establishment of our own production facilities in the UK and India was a logical step for the company to further expand the market for its service offerings.  With the new locations in Bristol and Belagavi, we are optimally positioned to further advance our internationalisation strategy in the aerospace business. This expansion enables us to respond more quickly to market demands and offer our customers customised solutions for their semi-finished material needs,” said Alexander Bikar, Managing Director of BIKAR AEROSPACE METALS.

Expertise in aluminium, titanium, and superalloys

Certified as an aerospace supplier under DIN EN 9120 since 2016, BIKAR has established itself as a trusted provider in the aerospace sector. As a one-stop shop for aluminium, titanium, and superalloys, the company offers comprehensive services, including material procurement, storage, customised processing, and worldwide delivery.

“With the new locations in Bristol and Belagavi, we are optimally positioned to further advance our internationalisation strategy in the aerospace business. This expansion enables us to respond more quickly to market demands and offer our customers customised solutions for their semi-finished material needs,” said Alexander Bikar.

BIKAR’s value-added services—from specialised material processing to certification and logistics solutions—have defined its market leadership for decades. With a focus on short delivery times, cutting-edge digital end-to-end solutions, and a team of aviation experts, BIKAR remains a reliable partner for both contract and spot business.

This strategy is proving successful, as BIKAR has been named the new primary supplier for Sonaca Belgium this year. The long-term contract covers a full range of services, including procurement, warehousing, processing, and picking aluminium aerospace plates and sheets.
