Sen. Moran, Northrop Grumman to Host Kansas Aviation Supplier Conference on July 2

Press Release

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) -- co-chair of U.S. Senate Aerospace Caucus -- along with Northrop Grumman Corporation and the Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition (GWEDC) today announced that they will co-host a Northrop Grumman New Supplier Symposium at the National Center for Aviation Training (NCAT) in Wichita, Kan., on July 2, 2015. The supplier conference will help facilitate business between Kansas companies and Northrop Grumman, and will enable suppliers to meet one-on-one with representatives from Northrop Grumman.

"Given Kansas' reputation as the national leader in aviation manufacturing and job creation, it's no wonder global aviation manufacturers like Northrop Grumman are eager to tap into the talents of Kansans," Sen. Moran said. "Wichita is the "Air Capital of the World' for good reason -- it is the only place in the world that offers 90-years of experience in aviation manufacturing, access to the world's largest supplier base, and aircraft workers and training that are second to none. Because exports are so vital to Kansas' economy and Kansas jobs, our state must continue to build quality products in order to stay competitive in the global marketplace. I am proud to host the Northrop Grumman New Supplier Symposium, which will help make certain that when Northrop Grumman looks for new U.S. suppliers, it looks to Kansas companies."
