Posted by John McHaleHOOGERHEIDE, Netherlands, 17 Jan. 2011. Boeing selected Fokker Elmo, part of Fokker Technologies, to supply electrical equipment across a range of commercial and military aircraft. The different Boeing contracts will be supported by the various Fokker Elmo manufacturing subsidiaries based in The Netherlands, Turkey, and China. The contracts include a continuation of delivering electrical wiring systems and electrical junction boxes for the Next-Generation 737 from Boeing Commercial Airplanes as well wiring systems for the next phases of the P-8A Poseidon, the long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft.
