Fokker Elmo selected by Boeing for several electrical equipment packages

Fokker Elmo, part of Fokker Technologies, has been selected by the US aircraft manufacturer Boeing to supply electrical equipment across a range of commercial and military aircraft. The different Boeing contracts will be supported by the various Fokker Elmo manufacturing subsidiaries based in The Netherlands, Turkey and China.

The contracts include a continuation of delivering electrical wiring systems and electrical junction boxes for the highly successful Next-Generation 737 for Boeing Commercial Airplanes as well wiring systems for the next phases of the P-8A Poseidon, the long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft.
