News this week that Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corp. is the recipient of the a 10-year, $1 billion contract from Delta Air Lines Inc. will result in little new business for the company’s Orangeburg plant and the 440 workers employed there.
The nation’s third-largest air carrier announced Wednesday that Chromalloy won the deal to provide engine parts for its fleet of jets as well as other customers.
“Unfortunately, the engine types that this contract is about are mostly for other Chromalloy divisions,� said President Peter Howard from his Orangeburg office.
“There will be some of technology-coding support that we do here will apply to some of the parts, but they will come from other Chromalloy divisions to us,� Howard said.
Chromalloy, based San Antonio, operates 34 plants, warehouses and offices in 11 states and six countries. It is the largest division of Manhattan-based Sequa Corp.
