Triton CEO L. Bruce Jones said, “As a fixed wing, helicopter and ultra light pilot, I know that Piper has an excellent reputation throughout the industry for manufacturing quality and safe products. This partnership seems like a natural fit in that both of our products are manufactured to high safety standards and are relied upon in harsh environments. We are looking forward to partnering on additional work beyond this first contract.” Jones is a former U.S. National Skydiving champion who is currently planning an around the world trip in a single engine plane.
Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott said, “We are very pleased that Triton Submarines has chosen Piper for this important manufacturing support work.
