Aequs Philosophy

Philosophy of the brand

The name Aequs is based on aequs, Latin for equal, suggesting a partnership between equals. It builds on our approach to creating an ecosystem of employees, customers, partners, suppliers, shareholders and the community to deliver effective solutions to our customers.

The Aequs identity has three parts:

    • The two parallel lines at the bottom of the letter Q in Aequs reflect a sense of collaboration and concerted effort.
    • The parallel lines in red and black as a visual language underline this collaboration.
    • The brand name “ecosystems of efficiency ®” communicates our promise.

Aequs commenced manufacturing of aero-engine and aero-structure components, for aerospace clients at our Belagavi Manufacturing Cluster in 2009.

Over the past 15 plus years, Aequs has consistently grown by developing and acquiring new manufacturing capabilities, and diversifying its product portfolio and customer base across the aerospace and consumer sectors.

It strategically expanded its manufacturing operations in North America and France, through acquisitions in 2015 and 2016, respectively, which have allowed it to acquire new capabilities in the aerospace segment, grow its footprint in North America and Europe, and expand its portfolio of products.

Aequs leverages robust engineering capabilities to create innovative products and engineering solutions for OEM customers.

As a platform for custom manufacturing based on specific client requirements, Aequs is committed to developing innovative manufacturing processes while continuously improving existing ones to produce high-quality and reliable products in an efficient manner.
