“A Boeing Update”

 

Jeff Moore introduced Rich White from Boeing Company.

 

Rich White presented an overview of the Boeing Company in Everett. Boeing has been in Everett for 103 years. In 1916, Boeing Airplane Company started operating in the Puget Sound Region. In 1917, The Navy ordered C50 planes. Boeing is the largest exporter of the United States. Nearly ½ of the Boeing workforce is in the Puget Sound Region. Boeing generates 60% of the Washington Exports.

 

In 1968, Boeing built the building in Everett which is the largest facility in the world. Everett is home to the 777X Composite Wing Center.

 

The growth of airplanes will continue over the next years. Airlines will need 42,700 new airplanes. Asia Pacific will have 40% of the future growth.

 

Boeing has a diverse workforce, offers community contributions to a variety of non-profits.
