Essex Industries (Past Sponsor)

Essex is a leader in the design and manufacture of Platform Controls. With over 50 years’ experience designing control stick and throttle grips, programs include nearly every US fighter, trainer, bomber and cargo aircraft currently in operation and a number of overseas production and upgrade programs. With successful launches of cyclic and collective grip programs such as HH-65, S-61, Bell 204, 209, 525 Relentless and the Bell V-280 Valor, Essex is now increasing our land-based platforms to include the Abrams upgrade (tank, commander and gunner grips). 

Essex manufactures platform controls, aircraft components, emergency breathing equipment and liquid oxygen systems for life support and ground support.
