Dynamatic Technologies and Deutsche Aircraft Inaugurate D328eco® Rear Fuselage Assembly Line in Bangalore, Strengthening India-EU Partnership in Aerospace

Bangalore/Wessling, 17 April 2025 – Dynamatic Technologies Limited, India’s leading aerostructure manufacturer, and Deutsche Aircraft, the German Regional Aircraft OEM driving sustainable regional aviation, have proudly inaugurated the Rear Fuselage Assembly Line for the 40-seater D328eco® turboprop aircraft at Dynamatic's state-of-the-art aerospace facility in Bangalore, India.

The inauguration marks the transition from planning and design to serial manufacturing and showcases the world-class aerospace engineering and production capabilities in India. This milestone builds on the strategic partnership announced in 2024 and strengthened at Aero India 2025, where both companies reaffirmed their commitment to developing the rear fuselage for the D328eco®aircraft.

The momentous occasion was marked by the presence of Mr. Tobias Gotthardt, State Secretary of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, who officially inaugurated the assembly line. Also present were Mr. Nico Neumann, Co-CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, and Mr. Udayant Malhoutra, CEO and Managing Director of Dynamatic Technologies Limited.

Mr. Tobias Gotthardt highlighted the significance of this initiative in fostering international collaboration: "This collaboration between Deutsche Aircraft and Dynamatic Technologies exemplifies our mutual dedication to innovation, sustainability and economic growth. Bavaria, as a leading hub for aerospace innovation, is proud to support initiatives that not only strengthen our regional capabilities but also contribute to global advancements in green aviation."

Mr. Nico Neumann emphasised the global vision: "Our partnership with Dynamatic Technologies fortifies the global supply chain and underscores our commitment to sustainable aviation. This collaboration, supports the efficient regional transport system under the Udaan scheme, is a testament to Bavaria's role in driving aerospace innovation and fostering international cooperation."

Mr. Udayant Malhoutra added: “We are honoured to build this critical structure for the D328eco here in Bangalore. This assembly line is a testament to the 'Make in India' initiative, our deep capabilities in aerospace and our commitment to supporting green aviation goals globally.”

The inauguration of the assembly line represents a major boost to the strategic partnership between India and the European Union in the aerospace sector, fostering international collaboration, high-skilled employment, advanced technology transfer and a robust transnational supply chain. This collaborative effort between India and Germany, the EU’s largest economy, clearly demonstrates the shared vision to build a more sustainable and interconnected aviation future.

New talent appointed to strengthen the Deutsche aircraft programme

As part of its continued support of Deutsche Aircraft’s D328eco aircraft programme, 328 Support Services GmbH recently appointed a panel of “talent experts” to further strengthen the overall team and ensure strong management structure and processes are in place across the D328eco development programme. Today we focus on the Engineering & Programme departments.

On the programme side, Mr. Peter Spyrka has been appointed Director of Programmes. Peter brings over 20 years’ experience in the global aerospace industry with engineering & development works on both civil and military aircraft programmes. Prior to joining Deutsche Aircraft, Peter worked at Airbus, leading the Hybrid Electric Propulsion System development programme for demonstrator projects. He also worked for Fairchild Dornier back in the late 1990’s.

In Engineering, Mr. Jean-Damien Mazeau has been appointed as our new Head of Propulsion Systems. Jean-Damien also brings more than 20 years’ aeronautical experience to Deutsche Aircraft, having built most of his career at Airbus. He was most recently involved with the A320neo’s entry into service, in charge of propulsion system’s global technical Support.

Last but not least, Dr. Stefan Brunner brings more than two decades of expertise and experience to his position as Head of Airframe. Throughout his career, Stefan spent more than 17 years working directly for the Airbus group where he was heavily involved with a wide variety of major engineering programmes on both commercial aviation and defence & space programmes. In his new role, Stefan will be responsible for design, analysis and modification of the D328eco airframe’s primary structure (Fuselage, Fairings, Wing, Empennage), as well as establishing new processes and procedures to complete aircraft development. Finally, he is responsible for ensuring compliance with the European Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulations.

In addition to Peter, Jean Damien and Stefan, we are also proud to announce that we have been busy hiring new talent from not only within Germany, but from all over the world. Coming from a variety of companies within the aerospace industry, we look forward to utilising our new team members’ skills and expertise to achieve the entry into service scheduled for 2025.

All are great assets to the current Engineering & Programme team and will, without a doubt, help support Deutsche Aircraft’s development programme over the coming years.
