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.
â€Å“Unfortunately, the engine types that this contract is about are mostly for other Chromalloy divisions,â€? said President Peter Howard from his Orangeburg office.
â€Å“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,â€? 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.
