Stack International is comprised of member companies Lockheed Martin, Honeywell International, GE Aviation Systems, Rockwell Collins, Northrop Grumman, United Technologies, Crane Aerospace, Plexus Corporation, Meggitt AB Systems and Aero Engine Controls. The Gold Supplier award is the highest achievement award presented for excellence in Quality, Delivery and Service.
