Air Safety Company Moving To Escambia County
March 4, 2015
Aero Sekur, specialist in helicopter lift-raft and flotation systems, is moving from New Jersey to Pensacola.
The move provides the aviation safety and protection systems designer with a larger facility and closer geographic links to many of the US helicopter operators in the Gulf of Mexico.
“I’m looking forward to Aero Sekur joining our community,” said Escambia County Commissioner Lumon May. “Businesses like Aero Sekur that create great jobs and make new investments have choices about where they locate. We’re pleased that they have chosen Escambia County.”
John Hutchinson, president of the Community Economic Development Association (CEDA) said Aero Sekur’s decision is another indication that the aerospace industry has its eyes on Northwest Florida. “This industry has huge growth potential and we are winning important projects that will demonstrate to other companies that they can be successful in our region. We must continue to make economic development a priority.”
“For more than 100 years, aviation has been part of the very fabric of our community, and we’re leveraging that experience to compete for the aviation-sector jobs of today and tomorrow. Aero Sekur is a leader in aviation safety and protection systems, and a great addition to Northwest Florida’s growing aerospace and aviation cluster. We’re excited to welcome them and to partner with them as they look to grow their business and enhance their distribution network,” said Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward.

Just like the “wonder wheel” made 8-10 concession stand jobs,I’m sure the new aviation industry jobs will get those highly trained out of work helicopter techs off
the”dole” and into a lucrative,high paying job,then they can hire more…right.
That’s five less on the public dole, Don. Remember good jobs create jobs and this part of the world should appreciate a company MAKING 5 jobs, rather than five looking for a handout!
I saw on the news the will hire FIVE employees locally WOW!!! YIPPEE!! FIVE!!!!!
how much $$$ was spent to lure them here?sound’s like Haywards magic wonder wheel again……
