It’s less than two years since Alain Bellemare became president of Hamilton Sundstrand at the end of 2009 at the height of the aerospace industry’s most recent downturn. So this is his first Paris Air Show at the helm of the U.S.-based group and he’s in a hurry to make his mark with a plan to grow its annual revenues from around $6 billion now to $10 billion by 2015.
“For us the recovery started in 2010, although it’s been a bit soft at times,” Bellemare told AIN ahead of this week’s show. “[However] we’re very well positioned and have content on all the new aircraft out there–the most being on the Boeing 787, with over $3 million per platform. We are also on the [Airbus] A350, JSF [Joint Strike Fighter], Comac 919.”
