PARIS and WALDWICK, N.J., June
19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With billions of dollars in
deals announced, and millions more in the making, exhibitors in the
U.S. International Pavilion at the Paris Air Show have made the
most of this biennial opportunity to meet buyers and influencers at
the world's biggest aerospace and defense event.
As the centerpiece of the nation's presence at the
51st biennial "Salon du Bourget," the Pavilion showcased
a concentrated cross-section of American companies, organizations
and industry advocates looking for new export opportunities and
global business relationships. This year's Pavilion covered more
than 6,000 sqm of space in Hall 3, and featured more than 230
exhibitors.
The announcement Wednesday of Connecticut-based EDAC Technologies'
$1-billion-plus deal to provide
components for Pratt & Whitney engines on some Airbus,
Bombardier, Mitsubishi and Embraer aircraft punctuated a week of
business activity and announcements that reinforced the Pavilion's
critical role in helping U.S. companies grow their share of global
markets.
"Despite America's well-established leadership in the global
aerospace and defense industry, the nation can never afford to take
its place at the Paris Air Show for granted," said Tom Kallman, President and CEO of Kallman
Worldwide, which this week celebrated its 20th year as
organizer of the official U.S. Pavilion at Le Bourget. "Our team is
proud to have helped position our exhibitors to meet more
prospects, strengthen market relationships and close more sales to
boost the U.S. export economy," Kallman said.
Pavilion exhibitors benefitted from a significant jumpstart on
the first day of the show with the presence of some 40 U.S.
government, military and diplomatic dignitaries, including the U.S.
Secretaries of the Air Force and Transportation, who gathered under
the banner of "Ask America First," the Pavilion theme of the week,
to officially open the venue. In particular, the participation of
seven state governors and four U.S Senators gave a strong boost to
exhibiting states and the companies co-exhibiting under their
flags.
Exhibitors were also supported by Kallman's first "HOT 100" List
initiative to heighten awareness and interest in U.S companies, and
further validate the Pavilion as a primary destination for business
decision-makers. The HOT 100 List is a user-generated preview of
news that exhibitors planned to announce at the show, including
product and service launches, thought-leadership initiatives,
program upgrades, patents and personnel moves.
Following are the final HOT 100 entries.
