Sikorsky Supplier Diversity

At UTC, we recognize the value of a diverse supply chain and we are committed to integrating and leveraging supplier diversity into the way we do business. We relentlessly pursue competitive and innovative minority business enterprises (MBE), women owned business enterprises (WBE) and small businesses, including: veteran owned, service-disabled veteran owned, disadvantaged, women owned and HUBZone. UTC drives this effort through supplier development, training, outreach and sourcing initiatives.

If you represent a diverse business and have a strong value proposition we would like to hear from you. Please contact us at supplierdiversity@utc.com, or visit our supplier registration page.

A Message from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. President Jeffrey P. Pino:

Diversity adds great value not only to our workforce but also to our supply chain. The diverse businesses with which we contract often operate with entrepreneurial vibrancy and provide us with parts and services that are competitively priced as well as innovatively produced.

These businesses – include small, disadvantaged, HUBZone, women, minority, veteran or service-disabled veterans – take pride in providing quality, innovation and on-time delivery. As Sikorsky Aircraft continues to grow, the degree to which we are able to identify, nurture and develop these businesses will increasingly affect our own success. By giving them the opportunity to succeed, we help ourselves to remain competitive.

As Sikorsky continues to expand capacity and production, and to stress quality in all that we do, I foresee increasing opportunities for diverse businesses to compete for the work we subcontract. As a company, we are fully committed to doing all we can to identify these opportunities and to award them to the best diverse businesses. Every employee has a stake in this and a responsibility to help achieve it while ensuring that UTC’s contracting rules are understood and followed. Employees who see opportunities in the areas where they work should contact Sikorsky’s Supplier Diversity Manager Dennis Proto for follow-up. You can reach him in Stratford at (203) 383-8055.
