NEW HAMPSHIRE: First in the Nation • Profiles in Excellence 185 Barrington, TURBOCAM was offered unused land by the town in exchange for commitments to develop the property and increase its tax base. In November 2014, TURBOCAM welcomed town residents to an open house at the new site to celebrate its second Barrington plant. No federal, state, or local funding was involved, a model for other towns to develop property and generate jobs. e Barrington plants are designed to recycle heat in the winter, and reject heat efficiently during the summer. e 120,000-square-foot plant on Route 125 now consumes less than $1,000 a year of heating fuel, and uses a small fraction of the cooling energy required by a conventional plant. e second and all future plants will run in a similar manner. Some of the extra heat may be piped to nearby residential housing in the future. Much of the sales revenue growth now comes from new generations of aircra engines that deliver 15–20 percent lower fuel consumption, and thousands of new aircra are on order worldwide, with delivery backlogs of more than 10 years. TURBOCAM products are on several of these new engines, which will fly for much of the next few decades. is means training hundreds of people for the jobs that are being generated. A dedicated training facility in Rochester has enabled some of the skills to be transferred to new entrants into the work force; within a few weeks of completing training, many from the Machinist Boot Camp are able to start productive work. No federal, state, or local funds are used, and no governments are involved. Today, TURBOCAM divisions have also emerged in the Netherlands, Taiwan, Romania, and Japan. ey supply a variety of products to the steam and gas turbine markets, manage complex supply chains, and provide international business liaison.
