Cobham Defense Electronics Systems, an Exeter-based manufacturer of cable systems that are sold to the U.S. government and major aerospace and defense companies, has captured the NH Business Resource Center's "Innovation Rocks!" award for the month of November.
Cobham, a U.S. subsidiary of Cobham plc, a publicly traded U.K. company, was recognized for its custom solutions and integrated assemblies for radar, electronic warfare and communication systems for the aerospace and defense industries. Soon, the company's Exeter presence will expand even further as the company is creating 80 new jobs related to the production of cable systems.
"We applaud Cobham's ongoing commitment to New Hampshire and to creating products that keep our nation safe," said NH Division of Economic Development Interim Director Roy Duddy. "This company, which employs more than 12,000 people on five continents, is an excellent example of an ongoing commitment to innovation and job creation."
