It’s not a Rockwell Collins spare or even a Boeing spare. Once the shroud becomes Delta’s equipment, the airline itself “is actually contracting to have that built under their owner/operator certificate”, explains Boltaron director Adam Mellen. The shroud features a lot of unique undercuts so Boltaron brought the work in-house rather than risk high scrap rates at other thermaformers. As Boltaron’s thermoforming department sales volume grew, “I worked hard to ensure production ran as smooth as possible during a 400% increase in departmental revenue from 2015 to 2016,” she says in an online bio.Īn example of the specialty thermoformed parts that Boltaron manufactures is the shroud for the Rockwell Collins (former B/E Aerospace) modular lavatory on Delta Air Lines’ new Boeing 737s. Autumn Hill, a former Boltaron project engineer who now works at rubber and plastics firm Laurel Manufacturing, can testify to Boltaron’s staggering increase in production volume, and the opportunities it provided her.
