Triumph Group, Inc. announced the establishment of a Thermal Solutions Development Center located in the existing TRIUMPH Systems Electronics and Controls business in West Hartford, Connecticut. TRIUMPH acquired Fairchild Controls in 2015, and then relocated the business to their West Hartford facility with the intent of revitalizing the business across all facets including engineering capabilities and development, new product lines, and lean manufacturing processes. The opening of the Thermal Solutions Development Center is further evidence of TRIUMPH expanding on their already extensive thermal capabilities.

This includes complete thermal management system solutions built around TRIUMPH's core intellectual property in vapor cycle compressors, both rotary and twin-screw types, ranging from 1kW to more than 300kW cooling capacities. This new facility was made possible through the assistance of the State of Connecticut in upgrading the power infrastructure at the West Hartford plant to meet the extreme demands of these systems in the most energy-efficient way. The state of Connecticut, through the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) and Connecticut Innovations, is supporting this project with access to capital investments.

TRIUMPH will use the funds to purchase machinery and equipment and make improvements related to the expansion.
