Winners of this auction item will have the opportunity to participate in an exclusive private tour of the Esterline Facility in Coachella, CA, known locally as Armtec.  Included in the tour are lunch and a boardroom presentation of the caliber normally reserved for senior leaders in the military and government.  In fact, this tour and the EDT plant are not available to the public, so don’t miss this opportunity to peek inside a true high-tech defense product engineering and manufacturing facility. 

Esterline Corporation is a $1.5B (annual sales) specialized manufacturing company with corporate offices in Bellevue, WA, serving principally aerospace and defense markets.  EDT is wholly owned by Esterline and is headquartered in Coachella and operates plants in Coachella; Lillington, NC; East Camden, AR; and Milan, TN.  

EDT is a world leader in the research, design, and manufacture of combustible ordnance products (CA plant) and missile countermeasure products (AR, TN, and NC plants).  Founded in 1968 in Coachella, Armtec quickly became a world leader in combustible ordnance with its development of a high-tech case for an Army tank round.  The proprietary production process at the CA plant has grown so that today it supplies our military’s needs by applying the latest science, chemistry, and production techniques to a full line of the proprietary combustible ordnance products.  EDT products are shipped around the world, proudly marked as being manufactured in Coachella, CA.

Please join us in meeting our special EDT employee team, touring our 60 acre plant, and witnessing actual production.  The entire on-site experience is expected to last 3 hours.
