Transhield, Inc. and Kennon Products, Inc. recently announced they have formed a partnership under a collaborative agreement to deliver protective covers to the military aircraft market. The agreement allows Transhield and Kennon to provide cost effective and affordable solutions for the protection of military aircraft assets.

Transhield is the maker of advanced technology protective covers. The patented material is durable, waterproof, lightweight, UV resistant, and contains VCI+b – vapor corrosion inhibitors that not only prevent corrosion, but also mold and mildew. Kennon Aircraft Covers designs and manufactures aircraft covers and heat shields. Kennon is the maker of the Kennon Sun Shield, a wedge fitting form of heat protection that is the leading form of heat protection in the general aviation, business and military aircraft markets.

“We anticipate good things to come from this partnership,” said Jim Glick, president of Transhield. “A synergistic approach to this market segment is an all-around win. Kennon has outstanding design capabilities and existing patterns for many military assets. The collaboration will allow us to increase product selection and expedite delivery of superior, state-of-the-art protection for fielded assets.”

Kennon’s president Ronald Kensey stated, “Kennon takes pride in engineering and fabricating safe, form-fitting covers to protect high value assets. We are excited to team with Transhield! Aviation customers, including the Department of Defense, will be able to purchase Kennon covers made from the extensively tested and well-proven corrosion inhibiting materials from Transhield. Customers will benefit from our partnership with Transhield because now we can incorporate Transhield’s active vapor corrosion inhibitors and provide it at a price that they can afford.”

The co-branded product will be marketed as Transhield by Kennon. Combined, the two companies have over 50 years of experience protecting military assets. Kennon’s engineering capabilities combined with Transhield’s patented material will be used to offer Kennon designed covers for assets of the U.S. Armed Forces. The engineering and technology will combine to ultimately lower maintenance costs and increase mission readiness.

Transhield by Kennon will be exhibiting at the Army Aviation Association of America (Quad A) Summit March 29 through April 1 in Nashville, Tenn.
