June 10, 2009, Halifax – IMP Aerospace Components of Amherst, Nova Scotia, a division of IMP Group International Inc., has been awarded a contract that has a potential value of $ 49 million. The six-year contract will see approximately 30 new jobs created in Amherst to manufacture various structural components and assemblies for Boeing’s Chinook Heavy Lift Helicopter.

“IMP has been a strategic supplier to Boeing for over 20 years, supplying manufactured parts for all of the Boeing fleet of commercial aircraft.
