HYDRA-ELECTRIC LAUNCHES NEW WEB PORTAL DURING 2009 PARIS AIR SHOW

Burbank California

Hydra-Electric launched its remarkable new information web portal at this year’s Paris Air Show, June 15-19 at Le Bourget France, in the northern suburbs of Paris. The Paris Air Show is the largest aerospace and air show in the world, and Hydra-Electric took full advantage of the show’s 100th anniversary to demonstrate to record visitors its latest initiative to fully utilize the Internet to provide customers with information, history and a broad catalog of the company’s leading aerospace switches.

“Response to the site was profound,” responded Robert Schacht, C.O.O. “The added capabilities lay the groundwork for our next generation of interact-ability – a full-line catalog with options and specifications enabling engineers worldwide to explore our technology, find their solutions and incorporate it into their designs.” Hydra-Electric is breaking tradition and fully embracing the enhanced communications of the Internet to reach new audiences, broaden its markets and enable engineers to realize solutions for their newest challenges in aerospace design. The enhanced site incorporates a much more complete description of the company, its history and the core products which have made

Hydra-Electric the global leader in switch technologies. New, advanced website capabilities are already in the works for an even more robust Hydra-Electric Internet experience in 2010. The full website can be explored at www.hydraelectric.com.
