The contract contains provisions to perform parts manufacturing, kitting and installation of a transition door modification for up to 800 kits and 560 helicopters.

Ron Aramini, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We look forward to working with the Army on our first major award with them as a prime contractor. They recognize the skill level and dedication of our employees as well as the unique capabilities of our facility.”
