Commerce's Alarin Aircraft Hinge, Inc. selected by Boeing to support its Aerial Refueling Tanker Team

Alarin Aircraft Hinge, Inc. is pleased to announce that it has been selected by The Boeing Company to join its national supplier team to compete for the U.S. Air Force's new fleet of aerial refueling tankers.

By joining with Boeing to become part of the United States Tanker team, Alarin Aircraft will become eligible to increase orders if Boeing is awarded the U.S. Air Force tanker contract in mid-2010. Located in Commerce, California, Alarin Aircraft manufactures high quality hinges for commercial and military aircraft industry.

"Today's announcement certainly reinforces our partnership with Boeing, which dates back 15 years," said Mike Barrett, President, Alarin Aircraft. "Boeing's strong commitment to its California industry partners and suppliers will allow companies such as ours to expand its business and commitment to its employees and their families, while giving us the opportunity to give back to the community and potentially hire more local workers."

Boeing works with more than 5,800 companies in California alone, paying more than $6.3 billion for services and products. If Boeing is awarded the contract, it would support at least 50,000 new and existing jobs across the United States.

Alarin Aircraft is proud to help Boeing deliver an American-designed and American-manufactured tanker that is combat-proven and features the maximum capability at the lowest cost.
