Strategic Growth Drivers

The company's core business of hoses and assemblies continues to show steady growth, supported by demand across various end-user industries and its global customer base. Aeroflex specializes in manufacturing metallic flexible flow solutions essential for controlling the movement of solids, liquids, and gases. Its product range includes corrugated flexible hoses, assemblies, metal bellows, and interlock hoses.

A key strategic focus for FY26 has been Aeroflex's expansion into advanced flow control solutions for high-performance liquid cooling in data centres and AI infrastructure. The company offers comprehensive Secondary Fluid Network (SFN) skid assemblies, integrating stainless-steel piping systems, precision metal hoses, and expansion joints to ensure reliable coolant distribution in mission-critical environments. In Q4FY26, Aeroflex sold 571 SFN skid assemblies, bringing the total for FY26 to 617 units valued at Rs 21.2 crore.

Operational Advancements

To meet the burgeoning demand in the data centre cooling sector, Aeroflex has significantly expanded its SFN skid assembly capacity to 6,000 units per annum. Ambitious plans are in place to scale this capacity further to 15,000 units by the second quarter of FY27. During Q4FY26, the company also introduced two new robotic welding lines and is on track to establish an automatic welding station and an annealing plant by December 2026.

Aeroflex showcased its liquid cooling solutions at the Data Center World Exhibition in the USA in April 2026, highlighting its global reach and technological advancements. Alongside these developments, the company declared a final dividend of 20%, equivalent to Rs 0.40 per equity share of Rs 2 each.
