A corporate member of the Society, B.C. based Avcorp Industries, has signed a long-term business collaboration agreement with Japan’s Fuji Heavy Industries.

The Avcorp Group designs and builds major airframe structures for some of the world’s leading aircraft companies,
The Long Term Business Collaboration Agreement between Avcorp and FHI follows on the heels of a major contract award confirming Avcorp as a major supplier to FHI of composite components for the centre wing box assembly of the Boeing 787 Aircraft.
