Competitive threats The company says such improvements may be necessary to its survival. The various 737 models account for about 33 percent of all Boeing and Airbus planes flying today, according to Forecast International. But while Boeing has chiefly competed with Airbus until now, the company is facing looming threats from a slate of potential competitors who are developing similar airplanes in China, Russia, Brazil and Canada. Although Boeing and Airbus ... ... interior panels from an industrial oven.

Hamilton, the 737 engineer, concedes the company could move its interiors manufacturing to an overseas supplier but said the Boeing unit has been able to stay competitive. “Right now, we believe that making those locally is the right thing to do,” he said. Re-engine, or rethink? As the 737 model ages and faces increased competition, bigger changes are likely on the horizon. The company is currently evaluating whether to introduce a new, more efficient engine to the aircraft, a move that would require other major design changes. The company also could move to a completely new airplane design, a costly undertaking that may be difficult as it is still flight-testing the brand new 787, the wide-body 747-8 and the P/8A for the Navy. In addition, Boeing is gearing up to launch a new interior for the 737. Still, the potential for such changes have left some worried that Boeing will choose to make future narrow-body aircraft in another part of the U.S., or even another country. “What Washington state has to worry about, and I suppose America, is what Boeing decides to do with those replacement airplanes,” said aerospace analyst Scott Hamilton with Leeham Co. John Hamilton, the 737 engineer, said he doesn’t envision the company moving its assembly any time soon. “I think we’ll continue to build the airplan...

...onal Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) registered. Elite Plastics has worked to meet all ITAR compliance requirements in their organizational structure, documentation, training, quality systems, technology control plans and procedures. A commitment to ITAR compliance ensures that Elite Plastics has the knowledge, ability and regulatory oversight to properly handle defense articles and technology. ITAR is a set of United States government regulations that controls the manufacture and export of defense-related articles and services, including technical data. Companies that manufacture military, aerospace, munitions and communication equipment may need to comply with ITAR mandated standards to satisfy legal restrictions. “We’ve spoken with companies worried about finding vendors experienced with ITAR,” stated Dan Thurmond, Elite Plastics President. “GM Nameplate is committed to ITAR compliance for its domestic facilities and this announcement of compliance by its Elite Plastics division is a major step towards this goal.” Multi-million dollar fines have been recently levied against companies for failure to properly comply with the ITAR. Companies applying for ITAR registration stipulate that they maintain the knowledge and ability to fully comply with ITAR and that they maintain procedures and controls that ensure compliance. “GM Nameplate received ITAR registration in order to meet our customers’ requirements,” stated Thurmond. “There are few domestic custom manufacturers with both our range of capabilities and our time-tested quality systems; and even fewer with the procedures in place to meet strict ITAR standards. Our customers rely on us to protect their information and we take that responsibility seriously.” ABOUT ELITE PLASTICS AND GM NAMEPLATE Elite Plastics, a division of GM Nameplate, has been molding and decorating both plastics and elastomers since 1995.
