CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Farnborough
International 2006 -- United Zenith Company, Agent for Hafei Aviation
Industry Company (HAFEI), has chosen Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) to
provide externally mounted D.C. rescue hoist systems for its HAFEI Z-9
rescue helicopter fleet. The first contracted installations will begin this
year, with Goodrich delivering 30 units through 2008.
According to Steve Loye, Vice President of Goodrich's hoist and winch
team, "This contract is a strategic milestone for us as it represents our
first contract in support of a Chinese manufactured search and rescue
aircraft. HAFEI recognizes the benefits of our unique translating drum
technology as it fits their search and rescue needs."
Goodrich's hoist and winch team, headquartered in Diamond Bar, Calif.,
produces both traditional level wind and industry-unique translating drum
cable management systems. Because the mission capabilities of the design
concepts are so unique, Goodrich distinguishes between the technologies by
category distinctions -- translating drum as Category One and the
traditional level wind as Category Two. Goodrich is the only manufacturer
of the Category One technology in the world.
Goodrich Corporation, a Fortune 500 company, is a global supplier of
systems and services to aerospace, defense and homeland security markets.
With one of the most strategically diversified portfolios of products in
the industry, Goodrich serves a global customer base with significant
worldwide manufacturing and service facilities. For more information visit
