UNH had equipment not available at Aavid and the expertise needed to develop a predictive aging model. Aavid officials estimated this market to produce between $500,000 and $1 million within the following year, and add about eight new jobs.” ~ Craig Wood, CEO Albany Engineered Composites, Inc., Rochester, NH (‘99, ’01, ‘09, ‘10) “The technology developed in this project will allow us to broaden AEC’s markets by expanding the range of components that can be fabricated using 3D weaving and resin transfer molding. While these technologies are relatively new, they are being used in some major programs, such as the CFM LEAP-X engineer program, and the landing gear braces for the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner. For growing, leading technology companies like AEC, it is crucial to be able to participate in high risk-high impact research through NHIRC. It should also be noted that NHIRC funding is also crucial for UNH in providing its faculty and students the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research in collaboration with the industry, thereby providing the next generation of engineers and scientists who will continue to grow the economy of our State.” ~ Jon Goering, Divisional Chief Technology Officer Did you know… Albany Engineered Composites (‘99, ’01, ‘09, ‘10) has moved its global headquarters to Rochester, NH.
