Last week marked an exciting and pivotal moment in the aerospace and defense industry in Utah as industry leaders, academic partners, and state officials gathered at the Delta Hangar to unveil the new name and vision for the Utah Aerospace & Defense Association – 47G. Their new brand identity represents the unquenchable ambition that propels us into the future — going where no human has ever gone before. Wasatch Container, Utah’s premier Aerospace & Defense Packaging Manufacturer, was proud to be a part of this historic event.
From UADA to 47G: A New Vision Takes Flight
The rebranding event was a monumental occasion where the Utah Aerospace & Defense Association officially transformed into 47G. This change signifies not just a new name, but a bold new vision for the future of aerospace. At 47G, the aim is to create the world’s premier ecosystem for this industry, fostering talent, funding entrepreneurship, and fueling innovation.
