FARNBOROUGH, England and WALDWICK, N.J., July 5,
2016 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. aerospace and defense
companies competing for military, commercial and space business in
Europe and around the world will
exhibit a wide range of technologies, equipment and services to
buyers and influencers attending the Farnborough International
Airshow, July 11 through 17.
The biennial event, the biggest and most diversified global
aerospace business gathering of the year, is expected to draw some
100,000 trade visitors and as many as 1,500 exhibitors from more
than 40 countries. Chief among them, the
United States will present 360-plus exhibitors, nearly
one-quarter of the show's projected total, the largest
international contingent outside of the U.K.
The centerpiece of the American national effort is the
4,000-plus sqm (gross) U.S. International Pavilion, which for the
11th consecutive time is being organized by Kallman
Worldwide, Inc., in coordination with numerous government agencies,
including the departments of Commerce, Defense and State. Comprised
of space in Halls 2, 3, and 4, the Pavilion is a well-established
destination for buyers looking for an efficient way to meet a
critical mass of leading suppliers, an on-site business center for
U.S. exhibitors looking to maximize their exposure and impact at
the event, and a networking forum for all to share ideas and
insights.
"When U.S. companies commit to exhibit at Farnborough, they're
saying they believe in the power of this event to attract real
business prospects and customers. The global reputation of this
show speaks for itself," said Kallman Worldwide President and CEO,
Tom Kallman. "Our team is proud to
help our exhibitors make the most of this proven opportunity to
grow their share of the international marketplace, whether as prime
contractors or subcontractors in support of manufacturers, service
partners and their end-user customers."
Ranging from publicly-traded stalwarts to privately held
small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with fewer than 250
employees, the 220 exhibitors in the Pavilion represent 31 states,
including 14 state pavilions, all working to initiate or strengthen
international partnerships that will generate new business and
create more jobs back home. Fifty-five percent are SMEs; 78 are
first-time U.S. International Pavilion exhibitors.
In addition to space on site, exhibitors are also featured in
the Pavilion searchable online directory at
kallman.com/farnborough-airshow.
To heighten awareness of U.S. exhibitors and drive more trade
visitor traffic through the Pavilion, Kallman is promoting its "Ask
America" on-site advocacy campaign during Farnborough. The message
will be placed prominently around the U.S. International Pavilion,
integrated into hospitality and VIP events during the show,
advertised in show daily publications and highlighted in social
media (follow on Twitter @kallmanEWC).
"The United States is the
biggest international exhibitor at Farnborough because it's the
world's biggest aerospace and defense industry supplier, but that's
no guarantee buyers will look to work with U.S. companies over
others," said Kallman. "As the organizer of the U.S. International
Pavilion, we have a responsibility to advocate not only for our
exhibitors, but for our nation in this highly competitive global
marketplace.
"We want every show visitor to 'ask America' and to be confident
that we are listening," he said. "There should be no question that
the United States aerospace and defense industry is committed to
international trade. We bring the most innovative technologies and
ideas to the table, and we have the most skilled workforce ready to
do the work."
To further inform and enlighten the business conversation at
Farnborough, Kallman and show organizers are introducing "The Hub",
a new thought-leadership forum in Hall 3. In addition to hosting
the official U.S. International Pavilion Opening Ceremony on
July 11, the Hub will feature a
week-long series of panel discussions presented in three program
tracks: "Cultivating Business Relationships", "Identifying Global
Opportunities" and "Creating the Future".
Hub sessions will feature public and private sector experts,
including special guest, Apollo 15 Astronaut Al Worden. Nearly 45
years since his flight to the moon, and more than half a century
since graduating from the U.K.'s esteemed Empire Test Pilot School,
Worden is returning to Farnborough this summer, in partnership with
Kallman Worldwide, to promote science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) education. Worden is expected to participate in
"Future" track sessions related to space exploration and the
21st Century aerospace workforce.
"As one of only 24 people to have flown to the moon — on
tax-payer funded flights — I can tell you there has never been a
shortage of people who want to explore space," said Worden. "As
technology and financing become more accessible to private
enterprise, more people will have the opportunity to not only
explore but also work in space. My mission, and I hope it is shared
by the industry represented at the Farnborough International
Airshow, is to ensure that young people with the passion for this
profession have the educational opportunities and support they need
to pursue their dreams."

Advanced Metalworking
Fluids
Using Advanced Metalworking Fluids is Proven to
Increase Tool Life and Improve Surface Quality
Metalworking fluids are often the
most overlooked yet most crucial aspect of the machining process.
The right lubricant can increase surface quality and extend tool
life. Specifically, the development of advanced metalworking fluids
has led to significant improvements in machining. Hangsterfer's
recently had their advanced metalworking fluid, S-787 independently
tested. The results showed that S-787 increased surface quality and
reduced cutting forces by at least 40 percent over other
traditional cutting fluids.
