Incora Expands Global Reach with Focus on India and the Middle East

As the aerospace industry continues to evolve at pace, Incora is strategically expanding its global footprint to stay ahead of customer needs and market dynamics.

For us, geographic expansion isn’t just about growth, it’s about building resilience, enhancing responsiveness, and positioning ourselves closer to the customers and suppliers who rely on our integrated supply chain solutions. By entering new regions, we’re not just opening facilities—we’re unlocking new capabilities, solidifying partnerships and delivering value where it matters most.

As global demand for aerospace and defense solutions continues to grow, Incora is proud to have successfully set up our new facility in India—marking a strategic step in our commitment to delivering integrated supply chain excellence where it’s needed most. India’s rapidly advancing aerospace and defense sectors, combined with its skilled workforce and strategic location, make it an ideal hub for expanding our capabilities, enhancing regional support, and strengthening our global network. Our new facility is strategically located on the KIADB Aerospace Park next to Bangalore International Airport, with 17,000 square feet of storage space for both hardware and chemicals. It offers product storage for Incora’s India-based contract customers and a range of standard parts for on-demand orders. Services such as kitting, re-packing, re-labeling, duty-suspended storage and third-party logistics for foreign companies wishing to have stock in India are all available. The development of this facility is also part of Incora’s contribution to the Make in India initiative, which encourages companies to develop, manufacture and assemble products made in India and incentivize dedicated investments into manufacturing. The facility will be operational for both hardware and chemicals in early 2026.

Mark Ness, Commercial Director, said about the facility: “The Indian aerospace industry is one of the fastest growing aerospace markets in the world and the global aerospace community is investing heavily in India. Incora recognizes the importance of this market and has invested in both assets and people here, which we expect to contribute significantly to Incora’s five-year growth strategy.”

Supporting our global growth strategy is our industry leading approach to supplier development. India has emerged as a pivotal growth engine and strategic sourcing hub for the aerospace and defense market. Incora’s recent initiatives in the region underscore our commitment to building resilient, high-performance supply chains that not only meet today’s demands but anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities.

To further expand our global growth strategy, we’re increasingly focused on the Middle East as a high-potential market, one that aligns with our long-term ambition to grow in emerging aerospace hubs and support customers closer to where they operate.

The region is undergoing a significant transformation, with strong government investment in aerospace and advanced manufacturing, a push for greater local capability, and a growing ecosystem of global OEMs and Tier 1s establishing a presence there. This creates a compelling opportunity for Incora to bring our proven chemical & hardware solution capabilities, global supplier relationships, and service excellence to a region that values both innovation and reliability.

Importantly, we’re also seeing significant growth in MRO capabilities across the Middle East, as the region positions itself as a global centre of excellence for maintenance, repair and overhaul — another area where Incora is well positioned to support with tailored, integrated supply chain solutions.

Our intent to expand into the Middle East is not just about footprint — it’s about enabling supply chain resilience, supporting in-region production and aftermarket services, and delivering tailored solutions that help customers meet both their operational and strategic objectives.

We believe the Middle East will be a key pillar of future growth, and we’re taking a deliberate, structured approach to market entry — prioritising partnerships, regional alignment, and the deployment of talent and capability where it matters most.

This is just the beginning, but the momentum we’re seeing reinforces our confidence that the Middle East will become an increasingly important part of our global growth story.

“An expansion into the Middle East strengthens our ability to serve customers across the region with greater speed, efficiency, and innovation—right at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic aerospace hubs.” Pete Andrews, Vice President, General Manager Chemicals ROW.

In the lead-up to the India Air Show, our cross-regional procurement team—spanning the UK, US, and India—engaged with 14 suppliers across New Delhi, Hyderabad, and Bangalore. These engagements yielded immediate value, while laying the groundwork for deeper supplier partnerships and long-term cost efficiencies.  This proactive approach reflects our belief that India is not just a market, but a strategic partner in our global sourcing ecosystem.

By embedding sourcing and supply chain operations closer to emerging markets, we enhance agility, reduce lead times, and unlock localized innovation. India, in particular, offers a compelling blend of technical capability, cost competitiveness, and a rapidly maturing aerospace ecosystem. As global OEMs like Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney and Embraer expand their sourcing from India, Incora is well-positioned to lead and differentiate through our established presence and supplier development programs.
