Representatives from Christensen Industries will be attending Aviation Week MRO Americas and Military Conference and Exhibition in Phoenix, Arizona from April 20-22, 2010.

“The aerospace industries’ renewed focus on supply chain management has proven very positive for Christensen Industries. More and more companies are realizing the value of reliable suppliers that can deliver a high quality product on a short lead time, and still offer it at a competitive price relative to the competition. That is where we fit into the aerospace manufacturing market. We know what we can offer to the aerospace industry, and trade shows like Aviation Week’s MRO are excellent oportunities for companies to learn about what Christensen Industries has to offer them.”
-Craig Harrison, General Manager, Christensen Industries

Christensen Industries is an AS9100:2008 and Nadcap Accredited manufacturing firm that supplies the aerospace industry with sheet metal and fabricated components as well as a wide variety of machined products and certified special process work. CI also has a proprietary line of Arinc Trays, Chassis Assemblies and Custom Enclosures to fit virtually any need.

Christensen Industries, who had been working as a third tier supplier on the Boeing C-17 project for several years, has delivered the first of 15 flight sets under a new PO to work directly for CAV Aerospace.

Christensen Industries’ Vice President of Operations, Rob Christensen, had this to say about it: “The Boeing C-17 program has been a great project for us for several years now. We are excited to be working directly for CAV Aerospace and also cultivating a stronger relationship with Boeing as a supplier on such an important aircraft.”

The change from third tier supplier to primary has brought other positive changes with it for Christensen Industries, who is now qualified as a direct supplier to Boeing.

“Our AS9100 and Nadcap certifications are allowing us to play a bigger role in the aerospace industry and are drawing a lot of very positive attention from the Nadcap Prime’s, like Boeing.” said Christensen Industries President Keith Christensen.

Christensen Industries is supplying complex metal components, used in the avionics bays, on the C-17 aircraft. These parts also include several of the new Christensen Industries line of Arinc Trays.
