The 2009 ARMTech Public Showcase of Industry and Technology will take place on Thursday, Aug. 20th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Belmont Complex in Kittanning.
The Showcase, held in conjunction with the Armstrong County Board of Commissioners and the Armstrong County Industrial Development Council (IDC), will feature demonstrations and interactive exhibits. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, The Boeing Company and The Penn State University Electro-Optics Center are just a few of the exhibitors who will be on display. Industries being represented include remote sensing, advanced manufacturing, medical research, aerospace and defense contracting.
Armstrong County IDC Chairman Dennis Smail encourages the public to visit the Showcase. The Showcase will offer an entertaining and educational evening for the whole family. “Many people don’t realize the scope of our local industries. ARMTech features the local shops along with the regional and national contractors,” said Smail.
The ARMTech Showcase is part of the Armstrong County Regional Manufacturing Initiative. The Initiative’s goals include promoting industry recruitment, workforce development and establishing local supplier relationships within Armstrong County and the surrounding region.
