EDAC

Edac Technologies Corporation

A Connecticut-based maker of precision parts for jet engines and industrial machinery, turning out integrally bladed rotors, engine cowlings, casings, and precision gauges for big aerospace names like Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. Founded in 1946 and long headquartered in Cheshire, it was bought by South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace in 2019 and rebranded as Hanwha Aerospace USA. One quirk: the name "EDAC" has no documented origin story — it's simply the abstract handle the company picked when it began.
