CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Farnborough International 2006 -- Goodrich Corporation will debut a first at the Farnborough International Air Show. For the first time in its long history of participating in the show, Goodrich will be on site with an innovative combined stand and chalet in the form of a two-story pavilion. Located "Outside OE5," the pavilion replaces Goodrich's separate chalet and stand. With its location literally at the center of the show site, the pavilion will add to the speed and ease of doing business with Goodrich for show attendees as well as Goodrich's guests and staff.
On the ground floor of the new structure all show-goers are welcome to tour Goodrich's innovative products and services in an interactive environment. Goodrich will feature its latest commercial systems and technologies such as, landing gear, wheels and brakes, and sensors, for new and existing platforms. In addition, its contribution to defense and homeland security will be on display, with innovations such as: sensor technologies for laser detection; surveillance and reconnaissance systems for fighters and UAVs; and laser systems for perimeter awareness and obstacle avoidance. Goodrich will also be focusing on its services in the aftermarket with many experts on hand to provide more information.
The upper floor of the new pavilion accommodates private dining space as well as an air show viewing platform.
According to Lisa Bottle, Vice President, Corporation Communications, Goodrich Corporation, "We are excited about our new pavilion concept. It's a literal interpretation of our 'one face to the customer' approach to doing business. And in the high energy, time crunch atmosphere of a major international air show, the two most valuable resources for exhibitors and attendees alike are time and energy. With this new concept we're able to conserve both all while creating a truly memorable experience for our guests as well as the Goodrich team who has made this new concept a reality."
Amanda Steiner, Exhibitions and Events Director, Farnborough International, Ltd. stated, "Goodrich has always had a strong presence at Farnborough International Airshow and we are delighted that they have decided, this year, to expand their presence further by building a pavilion which will incorporate their stand and hospitality facilities. This impressive pavilion, located in a prime site, will attract the attention of the visitors and be an excellent marketing tool for Goodrich. As Farnborough is such a flexible site we are sure that once companies see Goodrich's new 'look' others will follow suit."
