At Heli-Expo 2014 Kaman Aerospace Group (Booth No. 4922) announced that it is expanding its reach. The OEM supplier of helicopters, rotor blades and rotary-wing UAVs and other aerospace components has opened new offices at Clemson University’s graduate campus in Charleston, S.C. The plan is to recruit talent and put a team of Kaman engineers at the nearby Boeing facility in North Charleston. The team is part of the company’s participation in the stress analysis work on Boeing 787 Dreamliner production. Kaman was named Boeing Supplier of the Year in 2013, one of 16 companies to receive the award, which is based on statistical measurements of quality, on-time delivery, post-delivery support, cost and the ability to respond to changing customer requirements.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is excited to see Kaman join the expansion of the aerospace industry in the state. “It speaks volumes for our economic future,” he said, commenting, “The aerospace sector is a major driver for our state’s economy.”
