On behalf of Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and the F22 Raptor Team, I would like to commend Matrix Composites for exceptional supplier performance on the F22 Program.

After seamlessly transitioning more than 64 fracture-durability and wind-swept-surface critical components, Matrix was able to accelerate production while resolving numerous technical challenges and schedule hurdles. Your ability to rapidly transition and absorb this work ultimately enabled Lockheed Martin to deliver the Raptor to its customer on-time.

Working together with Lockheed Martin Procurement, M&P Engineering, and Planning as well as the various sub-tier suppliers located across the country, Matrix has managed to achieve and maintain a 99% Quality and 99% Delivery performance rating with UM AAeronautics.

Based on your exceptional record of performance and enthusiastic support, I would consider Matrix Composites to be a very valuable supplier to Lockheed Martin. We would again like to thank you for your outstanding support and look forward to the potential of expanding our business relationship on other aerospace programs as the opportunity arises, as well as any future potential with the current F-22 program.

Sincerely,
Rod Hogan
Sr. Mgr. Procurement
