GKN Aerospace and Boeing extend wiring systems agreement

GKN Fokker Elmo and Boeing have agreed to a contract extension, to supply wiring for three of Boeing’s airplane families.

GKN Fokker Elmo has supplied electrical wiring and interconnection systems (EWIS) to Boeing airplanes for more than a decade for the 777, 737 and P8A and that contract was extended at the Farnborough International Air Show today.

The contract extension is confirmation of GKN Fokker Elmo’s position as a strategic EWIS supplier to Boeing.
