Testimonials We saw other states exhibiting at the Farnborough Air Show and it got my blood going. Washington is the center for aerospace. It became clear to us that the way to compete globally is through our efficiency. If a competitor produces a part in five steps, we will do it in four and still win that contract with our emphasis on quality. The Farnborough show and all the work that Commerce did for us exceeded our expectations. We wouldn t have gained any business from Farnborough without Commerce. -TJ Richards and Robert Edmondson, MetalTech Service Steel Aerospace Corp has partnered and participated with the State of Washington for over a decade now in exhibiting and working to develop aerospace opportunities at the London and Paris airshows. Over the years, the state has provided SSA with the support needed to make each year a success and giving us the ability to achieve our goals. -Erich Thomson, Service Steel Aerospace Corp
