“Ruggedness” and “reliability” are ever-present terms in aerospace and defense design. But how do they manifest as technical requirements, and how can design engineers use them to specify connectors that excel in the world’s harshest environments? We break down these essential answers in “Defining and Advancing Rugged, Reliable Connectivity in Aerospace and Defense.” Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/g3u3TQJz Go beyond the buzzwords to discover what truly constitutes “rugged,” “reliable” connectors fit for mission-critical applications, from key features and contact systems to material selection and failure-proof design. 💪 #AerospaceEngineering #DefenseEngineering #RuggedConnectivity #MissionCriticalDesign

Georgia-Pacific LLC, a Koch company, faced high transportation costs while modernizing its facility in Halsey, Oregon. They needed a more cost-effective way to move specialized equipment - conveyor systems, ductwork, and production lines - across multiple states without delays, damage, or unnecessary expenses. By analyzing shipping lanes, challenging standard rates, and negotiating better terms, we helped Georgia-Pacific reduce transportation costs by 57%. We also introduced Conestoga trailers in place of standard flatbeds, enhancing load security, and took a hands-on approach in managing key shipments - working directly with suppliers to eliminate friction points. The result? Transforming logistics from an obstacle into a competitive advantage. 🔗 Read the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/gM3b7mZ6

The Koch Pro Bono and Koch Methanol team recently hosted a driver's license reinstatement clinic in St. James Parish, Louisiana.

A valid driver's license is essential for accessing critical services like healthcare, education and housing. Thank you to all the volunteers, including attorneys and representatives from Koch Ag & Energy Solutions, LLC, Baker Botts, Entergy, Liskow and Lewis, and Kean Miller LLP, our partners at the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, and judges from the 23rd Judicial District Court, for making this event possible. https://lnkd.in/gbRM5UE3
