Some 400 U.S. companies, more than half of which are small- and medium-sized entities (SMEs), are exhibiting at this year’s Paris Airshow. The turnout marks the largest U.S. presence at the trade show to date. Some 300 of the 400 companies occupy the USA Partnership Pavilion in Hall 3.

More than half of the USA Pavilion exhibitors employ fewer than 500 employees, which reflects the growing value and importance of SMEs to the global supply chain, said Tom Kallman, president and CEO of Kallman Worldwide.
