“Investing in Danville is a natural choice for us,” said Brian Bondarenko, president of Meggitt Braking Systems. “We have been operating here for over 14 years and we continue to increase capacity. Danville gives us ready access to a rich talent pool and skilled employees, through this investment we hope to increase our workforce over time.”
