The BF Goodrich Landing Gear Division, Oakville ON, has received $1.56 million in financing from Technology Partnership Canada (TPC) in support of its participation in the US/Canada Hard Chrome Alternative Technologies (HCAT) project.

TPC is also investing an additional $2.56 million in two other firms participating in the HCAT project, although their names have not yet been announced....
