NORWICH – General Electric (GE) General Manager of Supply Chain for GE Aviation Systems Electronics Mike Chanatry announced an estimated 50 to 75 new jobs which will be coming to the Norwich Unison facility in the coming year.

Chanatry met on Tuesday with United States Congressman Michael Arcuri (NY-24), in addition to Unison management and employees, to personally thank the local facility for its “outstanding performance,” and reported that revenues at the Norwich Unison are up “approximately 20 percent.”

“It’s a great opportunity being able to transfer and add jobs and products,” said Unison Director of Operations in Norwich, Gary Cummings. “We’re very fortunate to receive this kind of backing from the company and we’d like to thank the congressman for his support.”

Arcuri was on hand to discuss his “continued support for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Competitive Engine Program,” which includes engine components constructed by Unison, “and its impact on growth potential at the local manufacturing facility,” according to an Aug. 24 press release.

While the new positions are not directly related to the fighter plane, which will allegedly replace 95 percent of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps’ fighter jet fleet one day, Unison Product Line Manager Mike Weaver said that “GE leadership is happy with the performance of the Unison Norwich operation and wants to support growth of the site.”
