On Tuesday, the local airplane parts manufacturer celebrated its first official day as Boeing Helena http://www.boeing.com , one of now 11 sites worldwide that make up the Fortune 500 company’s fabrication division. At a morning gathering in the plant’s high-ceilinged, machine-filled work space, Boeing officials welcomed their new employees and mingled with city and state leaders.
