BLOOMFIELD, Conn.– (October 24, 2024) – Today Kaman announced that its subsidiary Kamatics Corporation (“Kamatics”) has entered into an exclusive teaming agreement with Rotorcraft Repair and Manufacturing (RRM) to collaborate on the marketing and sale of RRM’s Dragon Skin Extreme (DSX) blade erosion and corrosion protective coating product to aerospace industry customers.
With over a decade of rigorous testing and development, DSX was approved by the FAA in 2012 for a wide range of helicopter models.
