Press releaseIssued by Ellwood Texas Forge Navasota (ETFN).

On July 19, 2016, Ellwood Texas Forge Navasota, LLC (ETFN) made its first production shipment of 15-5PH flap-track forgings for the 737 program to The Boeing Company Portland (Oregon) fabrication facility.

Ellwood and The Boeing Company had concluded negotiations on a new multi-year contract in May of 2015, and shortly thereafter began the qualification processes and testing required, ultimately resulting in the successful production of the flap track forgings. ETFN looks forward to a long term relationship with Boeing, exploring new opportunities across all airplane programs.
