U.S. aerospace supplier Harlow Aerostructures is set to sign a letter of intent to commence production on two new aerospace-related contracts with Turkish Aerospace at the Farnborough Airshow this week.
A ceremonial signing is scheduled for July 23 at the Greater Wichita Partnership chalet.
"These two long-term contracts are producing jobs in the Wichita region and generating crucial new revenue streams for our company," said Harlow Aerostructures chief operating officer Jim Barnes.
Established in 1954 and located in Wichita, Kansas, Harlow has continued to supply a range of aerospace manufacturing components, from large bulkheads, spars, chords, and stringers to small bushings, bolts, and bearings.
Since 2008, it has participated in the Farnborough and Paris airshows after an invitation from the Greater Wichita Partnership.
The events have facilitated meetings with aerospace clients leading to multi-million-dollar contracts with companies in France, Turkey, and Brazil, which have increased the headcount at Harlow by 10.
“The support of the Greater Wichita Partnership, the State of Kansas, and the City of Wichita in our participation in international airshows and fostering connections within the global aerospace industry has allowed us to capture work from other countries," said Barnes. "Our diversified operations across multiple platforms contribute to a more stable workforce."
Barnes will be accompanied at the signing ceremony by Wichita mayor Lily Wu as well as high-ranking Turkish Aerospace officials.
"Strengthening our local economy is crucial for our city's future. The new contracts between Harlow Aerostructures and Turkish Aerospace highlight Wichita's highly skilled workforce and global competitiveness," said Wu.
