On July 1, 2015, PPG Aerospace acquired Cuming Microwave Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cuming-Lehman Chambers, Inc. Cuming Microwave manufactures in specialty materials and coatings utilized in applications requiring the attenuation or absorption of radar and microwave radiation. Cuming-Lehman Chambers produces free space absorbers and anechoic chambers for EMC, FCC/EC compliance, antenna testing and compact and nearfield ranges for electromagnetic test purposes. Cuming Microwave’s capabilities and technologies complement the existing PPG Aerospace business, particularly the PPG Aerospace Coatings platform.
Cuming Microwave is a strong supplier in the Aerospace industry. With key positions on important military programs, the product portfolio developed and produced by Cuming Microwave provides additional dimensions to PPG Aerospace’s capabilities. The Cuming Microwave team has demonstrated very strong support and innovative solutions for its customers globally which has driven outstanding growth for the business. Their product line expands across several sectors of the Aerospace industry, similar to the PPG Aerospace products and services offered through PPG’s global Application Support Center network. The combination of Cuming Microwave and PPG Aerospace will continue to broaden and strengthen the set of solutions that we can provide to our customers.
The Cuming Microwave team is a talented, creative, and highly responsive organization. Mike Kocsik, who has been the General Manager of the Cuming Microwave businesses, will continue to lead the operations and the sites in Boston, MA. In addition, he will lead the Cuming-Lehman Chambers segment of the business which includes the development, manufacture, and supply of free space absorber products utilized within the anechoic chambers. This segment also includes the sales and design office located in Chambersburg, PA. Cindy Manning leads the Microwave Materials segment of the business and has a strong history in this product line. Mike Heafey leads the Aerospace Materials segment which is well-positioned in the Aerospace Military industry.
