TenCate receives long-term supply agreement from the Boeing Company
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The TenCate Advanced Composites Group in Morgan Hill, California (USA) has
reached a long-term supply agreement with the Boeing Company. This five-year
contract extension culminates a multi-year initial design and build effort on
compression molded hydraulic and fuel line clamp assemblies for the Boeing 787
Dreamliner.
Besides these components, TenCate also delivers composite materials for other
applications - including TenCate Cetex® - for the Boeing 787.
The hydraulic and fuel line assemblies will be supplied directly to Boeing and
other Tier 1 subcontractors. Annual sales on the five-year contract extension
will vary depending on the build rate of the Boeing 787 program. The thermoset
clamp assemblies are used to secure hydraulic and fuel lines running through the
wing. These clamp assemblies are an integral part of the fuel and hydraulic
systems on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Paul Draghi, Vice President of Operations at TenCate Advanced Composites USA
states: 'We have worked closely with Boeing to ensure that TenCate is
well-positioned to support this key business from a capacity and delivery
perspective. This contract extension recognizes the hard work and technical
success attained since the program inception in 2006. This program is an example
of how TenCate combines tool design, tool fabrication, and part production to
provide a cost-effective solution to our customer. We are excited to continue
our partnership with the Boeing Company on compression-molded products for the
Boeing 787 Dreamliner and other Boeing aircraft'.
