Bangalore Feb. 7 Predicted shortfall of resources in the US and European markets will drive the engineering services market in India for aerospace and defence products, says Butler International, a US-based high tech outsourcer.

It has partnered with Bangalore-based product design firm Cades Digitech to increase its capacity and help the two companies reach out to more clients and scale its activities. The combined effort will be aimed at customers in the US.

``The Butler/Cades team, along with our Canadian partner Elisen Technologies, has won the first two major customer opportunities it has pursued in the US market,'' said Mr James Beckley, Senior Vice-President, Butler's Technical Group.

The $320 million Butler has an engineering centre at Hyderabad employing 275 but is not servicing any Indian clients. This is its first relationship with an Indian aerospace product development firm.

Cades plans to set up a dedicated offshore delivery centre here to support Butler, said Mr Dataram Mishra, Managing Director and CEO, Cades.

The company will ramp-up headcount by 300 in the next three years. It currently employs 400 and has offices in Delhi, Pune, Singapore, Japan, Germany, USA, UK and France.

The objective is to create a strong team in programme management, delivery and customer relationship along with a strong technical competence that we possess, he added.
