RADNOR,
Pa., Feb. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumph
Group, Inc. (TRIUMPH) (NYSE:
TGI) announces the establishment of a state-of-the-art Thermal
Solutions Development Center located in the existing TRIUMPH Systems Electronics and Controls
business in West Hartford,
Connecticut. TRIUMPH
acquired Fairchild Controls in 2015, a leading designer and
manufacturer of vapor cycle based thermal systems solutions, and
then relocated the business to their West
Hartford facility with the intent of revitalizing the
business across all facets including engineering capabilities and
development, new product lines, and lean manufacturing
processes.
The opening of the Thermal Solutions Development Center is
further evidence of TRIUMPH
expanding on their already extensive thermal capabilities. This
includes complete thermal management system solutions built around
TRIUMPH's core intellectual
property in vapor cycle compressors, both rotary and twin-screw
types, ranging from 1kW to more than 300kW cooling capacities.
"TRIUMPH is excited to announce
the opening of our new Thermal Solutions Development Center, a key
milestone in the development of our industry leading thermal
capabilities. This lab will provide a vital service to our growing
customer base as it allows for the complete test and performance
mapping of new thermal products and system solutions," said
Justin Wolfanger, President of TRIUMPH Systems, Electronics and Controls. "We
are increasingly engaged with the development of new thermal system
solutions with key customers and partners such as Lockheed Martin,
Northrop Grumman, Sikorsky, Bell, and General Atomics."
This new facility was made possible through the assistance of
the State of Connecticut in
upgrading the power infrastructure at the West Hartford plant to meet the extreme
demands of these systems in the most energy-efficient way.
Connecticut Governor
Ned Lamont applauded the
project.
"Connecticut is a leader in
aerospace manufacturing and precision engineering, and my
administration is committed to expanding this strategic sector,"
said Governor Lamont. "TRIUMPH has
been part of Connecticut's
manufacturing industry for generations, and I am thrilled by their
decision to invest and grow here."
The state of Connecticut,
through the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD)
and Connecticut Innovations, is supporting this project with access
to capital investments. TRIUMPH
will use the funds to purchase machinery and equipment and make
improvements related to the expansion.
"Connecticut is a worldwide
center of innovation in aerospace manufacturing, and we want to
help our existing companies grow, "said DECD Commissioner-Designate
Dan O'Keefe. "This is an example of how DECD is working with
strategic sectors to help innovative companies like TRIUMPH expand and succeed in Connecticut."
