Korea Co. is a firm with experience in production systems, gas filtering and manufacturing structural elements and equipment for Aircraft and Defense systems. It has a solid reputation with KAI as a local supplier, with experience in the T50 and in the KUH Surion and LCH/LAH helicopters.
CESA and EMK have worked together before on several projects;
• Project under the European Union’s Eureka seal for the development of an On-Board Inert Gas Generation System (OBIGGS), to inertize aircraft fuel tanks and
• Development of the two main elements of the hydraulic distribution system, the Tank and the filter Manifold for the LCH/LAH helicopter.
This new collaboration agreement between CESA and EMK is another milestone in the establishment of a relationship that the managers of both companies want to ensure is strong and enduring.
