"This award is a testament to the hard work and expertise of our entire team, whose intervention ensured the F-35 assembly line remained operational. It's a source of immense pride for not only Valco but the entire Duncan community and Oklahoma–a true representation of our state's capabilities on the national stage."

"Valco Manufacturing's long-time presence in Duncan is a boon to our community," said Lyle Roggow, President and CEO of the Duncan Area Economic Development Foundation. "Their commitment to quality and aerospace innovation not only brings recognition to Duncan, but also fosters a pool of highly skilled employees with access to rewarding careers in this exciting field. This recognition of Valco is a win-win for both the company and our community."
