LONDON — By jove!
The delegation from north Alabama has arrived in jolly ol’ England to renew old acquaintances and create other relationships at the annual Farnborough International Airshow.
The Huntsville-Madison County Chamber of Commerce, city of Huntsville, Madison County Commission and the University of Alabama in Huntsville and a pair of Huntsville companies will be showing off what the Rocket City has to offer at the world’s largest and most famous airshow.
SEA Wire and Cable and IERUS Technologies are joining the business and civic leaders in the U.S. Pavilion at the airport outside of London.
A team from the Alabama Department of Commerce is joining economic development specialists and business leaders from Mobile, the Birmingham region, Montgomery, and Auburn/Opelika, along with representatives from Auburn University, at the airshow which opened today.
“We have seen great growth in our aerospace exports over the last several years,” said Christina Stimpson, director of Commerce’s Office of International Trade. “Supporting companies like IERUS and SEA Wire and Cable will continue to add to that growth.
“Through a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration, these firms are able to showcase their innovative capabilities and technologies at one of the largest aerospace and defense shows in the world.”
SEA specializes in supplying mil-aero, cable, tubing, termination sleeves, cable ties, EMI/RFI backshells and other cable harnessing products for the demanding military and commercial applications.
IERUS provides detailed engineering expertise and support for a wide variety of defense and commercial technologies.
While at the air show, both companies will be working with Stimpson and Christoph Dörr, director of Commerce’s European Office in Stuttgart, Germany, to make direct connections with interested foreign buyers.
