Triumph and Lockheed Martin Sign Long-Term Agreements for F-35 Components

BERWYN, Pa.--()--Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) was selected by Lockheed Martin to supply key engine and structures components for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft.

Under the contracts, Triumph will provide engine mounts, bulkheads, longerons and wing ribs for the F-35 through 2021. The new contracts mark the growing relationship between TPC and Lockheed Martin.
