Turbocam International, a manufacturing and engineering company based in Barrington, N.H., specializes in turbomachinery applications. National Guard and Reserve employees are fully supported by the company. The company president, Mr. Marian Noronha, is an advocate for the ESGR mission and actively recruits National Guard and Reservists for employees. Turbocam provided one National Guard and Reserve employee on tour of duty with software and hardware to allow internet cafe capabilities for his unit, while another employee’s unit was provided life-saving battlefield surveillance technology. The company also provided a $10,000 fund for deployed employees to draw from for needed supplies not routinely available through normal channels. Wall displays, company publications, and newsletters all pay tribute to military employees. As the Turbocam culture honors the importance of the family, Mr. Noronha has declared deployed employee families will be fully supported. As a practice, Turbocam puts their military employees first and encourages other businesses to do the same. Turbocam has signed a 5-Star Statement of Support and previously has received the Above and Beyond and Pro Patria Awards.
