Aerospace-grade fasteners (fatigue-critical, shear pins, blind fasteners)

Highest-grade aerospace fasteners (shear pins, fatigue-critical fasteners) are imported from Hi-Lok, Cherry, and Alcoa. Indian fastener industry is real but underqualified for fatigue-critical applications. Addressable mid-tier opportunity.
