Turner<\/strong> took the helm and relocated operations to Glens Falls, NY, to launch Air Industrial Park. In 1985, RC Machine returned to Quebec to support Pratt & Whitney Canada in its need for Canadian content as required by the federal government.<\/p>\n For the first year, the company consisted of a team of five American employees and Steven Gabias<\/strong>, working in a small rented space where RONA is now located in Hemmingford. Steven was gradually able to train people from the region as operators, and the company moved to 157 Route 219, adopting the name it still has today.<\/p>\n The company has certainly evolved over the years. In 1996, Christopher won a contract for the machining and assembly of drain valves, previously manufactured by Connecticut Valley Machine in the U.S. These complex assemblies were carried out by a team of young graduates from local technical schools.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]
<\/a> Hemmingford Aerospace Inc. opened its doors in Hemmingford in 1985. However, its origins date back to 1963, when Jesse Turner<\/strong> (then president of H\u00e9roux Machine Parts in Longueuil, QC) bought a small company called RC Machine to manufacture adapters for Pratt & Whitney Canada\u2019s famous PT6 engine.<\/p>\n
<\/a> In 1998, in the midst of an ice storm, tragedy struck when company builder and mastermind Christopher Turner<\/strong> died suddenly at the age of 52. His wife, Diane Gabias-Turner<\/strong>, left her teaching job to return to the factory and take the lead.<\/p>\n
