Manufacturing · Aerospace & Defence Components
Our welders are certified, yet buyers still think we only do structural steel.
Fabrication is a wide word. A buyer of aircraft panels and ducting does not want the same shop as a buyer of shed structures, and the website that treats them alike loses the first one. Weld procedure, material, forming method and inspection are what they look for.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Aerospace fabrication is the forming, welding and assembly of sheet and plate parts such as panels, ducts, brackets, frames and ground-support structures to an aerospace drawing. GullySales shows the fabricator to the buyers who need that work and keeps each quotation moving until it becomes a first-article order.
Last updated 16 Oct 2026. Licence, certification, labelling and advertising rules for aerospace & defence components differ by product and change. We describe them in general terms, so check the current position with your own adviser or the regulator before you publish a claim.
Who it is for
This is written for you if aerospace fabrication is what you make or sell.
- Sheet-metal shops forming aluminium and stainless panels, ducts and brackets
- Welding shops with documented procedures and qualified welders
- Fabricators making ground-support equipment, trolleys and handling frames
- Assembly shops that join machined and formed parts into a delivered sub-assembly
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A fabrication shop that works only to rough tolerances and does not keep weld records.
- A shop that wants aerospace work but will not document its welders or procedures.
How buyers choose
What decides the sale of aerospace fabrication.
Weld procedure and welder records
The buyer asks which weld procedures you hold, who is qualified and how records are kept. A page that lists these in plain terms is read before the call.
Forming and flatness on thin material
Thin aluminium and stainless sheet distorts. Buyers look for the forming equipment and the fixture practice that keeps parts flat.
Drawing-based quotation
The RFQ includes a drawing, a quantity and a delivery date. The quotation is compared on completeness as much as price.
Plant visit and process audit
A buyer's team walks the floor to see the weld bay, the inspection area and how material is segregated. Photographs on your site are the pre-visit.
Where orders are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell aerospace fabrication.
In the words owners use on the first call.
“We get structural steel enquiries, not aerospace ones”
A generic fabrication page draws generic fabrication work. Separate pages for sheet and weld work to aerospace drawings change who enquires.
“Our weld records are good but invisible”
The qualification certificates and test coupons sit in a file. Describing them, without exposing anything confidential, is the proof a quality team wants.
“Assemblies need several vendors and we lose the thread”
A buyer wanting a finished sub-assembly asks about machining, finishing and fitting. If the shop cannot say how it coordinates them, the buyer goes to a larger vendor.
The scope
The work we would propose for aerospace fabrication.
Measured on qualified enquiries, quotation requests, follow-up on each quotation, trial orders won and repeat orders. Anything here that needs a platform, directory or tool we have not used with you is confirmed with you before it goes in the scope.
- A weld and forming capability pageProcesses, materials, sheet thickness range, bending and forming equipment, fixtures and inspection, written for a quality engineer.
- Plant photographs that answer the audit questionsA short walk-through of the weld bay, the forming area, the inspection table and the material store, shot for the buyer who cannot visit yet.
- Search for sheet and weld work by materialPages on aluminium sheet forming, stainless welding and sub-assembly, tested against how buyers search.
- Quotation chasing for drawing-led RFQsEvery drawing logged, the quotation date promised, and a call booked when it passes.
- Introductions to ground-support and equipment makersA list of companies that buy fabricated structures and assemblies, with the reason each name fits.
What we do
What you get for aerospace fabrication.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A welding and forming capability sheet
Lists procedures, materials, thickness range and equipment. It gets attached to vendor questionnaires.
A plant walk-through page
Photographs and short captions of each area, giving the buyer a view before the audit visit.
An RFQ form for fabricated parts
Collects the drawing, material, thickness and quantity so quoting starts with complete facts.
A follow-up routine for quotations gone quiet
Sets a date and an owner for every open quote.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries with a drawing
- Quotation requests received and answered
- Follow-up on each quotation
- Plant visits requested by buyers
- Trial orders won
- Repeat orders
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What we need from you
What to have ready before we talk.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Equipment list for forming, welding and cutting
- Welder qualification and procedure records you can describe
- Photographs of your floor, fixtures and inspection area
- Past quotations to aerospace or equipment buyers
- Samples of drawings you have quoted, with names removed
Export and new regions
Selling aerospace fabrication beyond your home market.
Where you sell decides standards, documents, payment terms and freight. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new region we start from your own enquiries, your existing buyers and the directories you already use.
Overseas fabrication buyers
Equipment makers abroad outsource formed and welded parts to India. Start with the export buyers you already supply and the countries they sit in.
Shipping fabricated parts
Large or fragile assemblies need packaging and freight agreed in the quotation. State how you pack and who pays for freight.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.
Marketing and sales, as one job
Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.
The person on the first call does the work
No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.
No guarantees we cannot keep
The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.
