Savroc and Boeing partner to advance sustainability in aerospace manufacturing through TripleHard chromium coating technology
- Purchase Contract agreement fosters a new era of sustainable manufacturing through use of non-toxic protective coating for aerospace parts.
- Partnership highlights industrial capabilities that deliver enduring economic benefits in Finland
Helsinki, Finland, December 2, 2021 – Savroc Ltd and Boeing [NYSE: BA] have signed a Purchase Contract to partner on the use of TripleHard technology, a non-toxic trivalent hard chromium coating pioneered by Savroc. TripleHard provides a more environmentally sustainable solution than many protective coatings commonly used in aerospace manufacturing.
This contract accentuates industrial participation agreements that promote work packages of Finnish companies that increase the competitive offerings of Boeing products worldwide, while generating ongoing economic benefits in Finland.
“Collaborating with Savroc underscores our shared mission to deliver unsurpassed product offerings that do right by our customers, our planet, and future generations,” said Maria Laine, vice president, Business Development, Boeing Defense, Space & Security. “This partnership serves as a guidepost across the industry of how we can collectively deliver on our commitment to climate action and sustainable aerospace.”
As part of a prior agreement for Finland’s purchase of F/A-18 Hornets, Boeing created an industrial program with Finnish industry that achieved more than USD$3 billion in value, far exceeding the original commitment and establishing an ongoing relationship with several Finnish companies to this day. “We are proud to partner with Boeing to enhance our mission to provide technology-based solutions customers’ need, while being responsible stewards of the environment,” said Osmo Jahkola, cheif executive officer at Savroc. “Savroc and Boeing share a common pioneering spirit that focuses on a cleaner future, by providing the right solutions today.”
