Sonoco Helps Build Landing Gear fo r Dept. of Defense Planes! 
                                             
 

All American Racers, whose primary business is building race cars, also does contract work for the Department of Defense.  Protexic worked with All American to build a piece of landing gear that contained an EPP component part.

 

These planes are unmanned and serve as eyes for the soldiers so they can spy on the enemy from miles and miles away and help to keep America safe from terrorism!
