SCOA AEROSPACE & DEFENSE PROGRAMS

A BUSINESS TAKES FLIGHT

B

ack in the 1960s, Sumitomo Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation of Americas began assisting United
Technologies-owned Hamilton Standard, a U.S. corporation manufacturing aerospace and industrial
products and technology, in marketing and selling to Japanese industrial companies like Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and IHI Aerospace. Looking to expand the scope of possibilities,
SC and SCOA helped Hamilton Standard approach the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA)
in 1980, and opened the door to space-related business discussions across the Pacific Ocean.
Representing Hamilton's products in the Japanese
market proved lucrative for Sumitomo. After Hamilton
Standard and Sundstrand Corporation merged to form
Hamilton Sundstrand, SCOA's Aerospace & Defense
Programs Unit (operating as one entity then) explored
ways to strengthen and continue to grow this business.
As a result, SC, SCOA and United Technologies formed
Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems International
(HSSSI) in 1994. Sumitomo has now served as
Hamilton's sole sales representative for decades, with

Sumitomo since the beginning. Hamilton's evolution
through mergers and acquisitions resulted in Sumitomo's
current relationship with powerhouse industry leader
Collins Aerospace, where Newman serves as Director of
North Asia, Customer & Account Management.
Among the products are Extravehicular Mobility Unit
(EMU) space suits similar to those used by NASA for the
Space Shuttle. The EMUs outfitted Japanese engineers
who worked on the International Space Station throughout the 1990s and the spacesuits continue to find use to
this day due to their durability.
