RTI gets huge Boeing deal

WEATHERSFIELD — RTI International Metals has signed a 10-year deal to supply titanium components for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

The deal will produce a total of $900 million in revenue for the Weathersfield-based company, starting next year.

RTI’s Houston and Montreal plants will produce components used for seat tracks on the floor of the plane.

Since May, RTI has announced long-term contracts that will produce about $4 billion in revenue.

The latest contract extends RTI’s role with the Dreamliner, a new model that is expected to begin flying next year.
