Esterline Armtec Defense, Inc., based in Coachella, California, is the industry leader in advanced countermeasure flares and plays a critical role in protecting our soldiers.   

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce these important funds for East Camden,” said Ross.  “Esterline Armtec provides critical flare products to our men and women in uniform and has the best flare safety record in the industry.  These funds will secure the operation of this plant for 5 years and will lead to more new jobs for the community. This is a great success for the region’s economy.” 

 “These funds are integral to our nation’s continued military capabilities,” said Lincoln. “At a time when America faces such daunting new challenges, I am proud to know that our nation looks to Arkansas’ manufacturers and workers to lead the way in the development of new technology.” 

“I am pleased Esterline Armtec will play a leading role in providing protection for our troops,” said Pryor.  “Armtec has a top-notch facility, a great group of dedicated workers, and is an asset to the community of East Camden and our state, which is why I urged the Defense Department to give their application the full consideration it deserved.”
