Helitech International 2015 attracts rising global interest

With under three months to go until Helitech International 2015 opens its doors between 6 - 8 October at ExCeL London, the event is set to provide the global rotary wing sector with an impressive showcase of helicopter platforms, systems, components and services. At present, 21
countries will be represented by a broad mix of industry primes and small to medium-size companies covering all aspects of the rotary supply chain. Exhibitors include: Airbus Helicopters, AgustaWestland, BAE Systems, Bell Helicopter, Curtiss-Wright, Honeywell, ITT, Lockheed Martin, Milestone, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney and Vector Aerospace.
According to recent market intelligence from Reportbuyer, the global civil helicopter market has grown almost threefold in size over the past decade, despite the global economic crisis. This has been driven by an expansion of the degree, as well as scope, of utilisation of civil helicopters across a range of user segments led by the offshore oil & gas exploration sector and law enforcement & parapublic based applications. This growth has been reflected by an increase in interest from industry across the board in Helitech International 2015.
"The rotorcraft supply chain will be represented by an impressive range of international companies at many different levels at this year's event," said John Hyde, Event Director for Helitech International. "The number and spread of the many countries that will be participating in London will provide a genuine international stage for the rotary wing industry to collectively assemble. During three days, companies will not only procure new business but visitors and exhibitors can also discuss the key topics and issues affecting the global helicopter community."
The global footprint of Helitech International 2015, run in association with the European Helicopter Association, will include exhibitors from countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Qatar, South Africa and traditionally strong representation from the North American and European markets. There are currently over 20 first-time exhibitors from eight countries around the world.
