Notre Dame students and alums will recognize the "last name" -- as the same name that adorns Siegfried Hall (photo) at the University of Notre Dame -- they are one in the same!
The Siegfried Family is a NOTRE DAME FAMILY -- "Grandpa" Robert Siegfried - Class of 1937 and his son, Ray Siegfried Class of 1965 -- made a gift to the University of Notre Dame that led to the building of Siegfried Hall in 1988. In addition, the Ray and Milann Siegfried family and The NORDAM Group donated the MBA wing of the College of Business Administration in 1995. And, in 1997 the family funded the Chair for Entrepreneurial Studies at Notre Dame. Ray was also a long-time member of Notre Dame's Board of Trustees.
Please note: Now I couldn't find any information on the genesis of the name NORDAM -- but, it sure looks like Ray Siegfried used some help from his beloved "alma mater" NOTRE DAME to name his company...
For those of you who are interested, NORDAM designs, certifies and manufactures integrated propulsion systems, nacelles and thrust reversers for business jets. In addition, NORDAM manufactures composite aircraft structures, interior shells, custom cabinetry, radomes, and aircraft transparencies such as cabin windows, wing tip lenses and simulator screens. It is also one of the world’s largest third-party providers of maintenance, repair and overhaul services to the military, commercial airline and air freight markets. The company employs approximately 2,000 people around the globe, with facilities in the U.S., United Kingdom, and Singapore.
