Integris Composites Joins Paris Air Show at USA Pavilion

HEBRON, Ohio - PrZen -- Integris Composites Inc., the U.S. arm of the global leader in armor protection for the world's elite military, law enforcement and security agencies, will join the 55th Paris Air Show at the USA Partnership Pavilion in Hall 3, Stand A109.

When the expo resumes Monday, June 16, a team from Integris Composites will be among 2,500 exhibitors from 48 countries presenting to as many as 300,000 visitors. Although Integris operates a facility 300 miles away in France, its U.S. delegation will emphasize domestic capabilities, its U.S. base and U.S. government credentials for innovating aircraft armor and survivability solutions in today's evolving combat environment.

The Integris team will participate alongside a cluster of Ohio companies assembled by the French American Chamber of Commerce-Ohio. Integris, which operates its technical center and major U.S. manufacturing hub at its Licking County facility, accepted FACC Ohio's invitation as a gold sponsor to help promote the state's aviation capabilities at the air show.

Accelerated Innovation

"We are a global company with a deep pool of design and engineering talent on both sides of the Atlantic, providing aerospace survivability solutions worldwide," said Andrew Bonham, president. "But U.S. military specifiers and defense contractors need to source domestically. We're here at Le Bourget to reinforce Integris' U.S. roots and highlight what we're calling 'Accelerated Innovation' — our ability to generate targeted solutions faster than anyone else in the armor business. We're proud of our achievements and of our growing partnerships with prestigious multinational defense contractors."

"In just over three decades, Integris Composites has earned tier-one supplier credentials with original equipment manufacturers like Airbus Helicopters and Embraer and prime defense contractors globally and in the United States," added David Cordova, chief commercial officer.  Recent awards include contracts to armor the U.S. Army's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, Boeing's MH-139 Grey Wolf and QinetiQ for the C-130J.

The Licking County facility in Hebron houses the U.S. technical design and engineering center and manufacturing operations. The company also operates a vehicle design center in Santa Barbara, California, and maintains corporate headquarters in Tysons Corner, Virginia, near the U.S. capital.

Formerly known as TenCate Advanced Armor until 2023, Integris Composites continues to lead in advanced materials and rapid prototyping for defense and sustainability.
