CPI Aerostructures, Inc. ("CPI Aero(R)") (AMEX: CVU) today
announced it has received purchase orders from Vought Aircraft
Industries, Inc. ("Vought") totaling $1.5 million to supply parts for
the C-5A Galaxy aircraft, including metal-bonded wing panels and door
assemblies. These orders support Vought's C-5 TOP contract with the
U.S. Air Force. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in late 2008.
Edward J. Fred, CPI Aero's President & CEO stated, "With this
award, we end the first quarter of 2008 with a total of $10.6 million
in new contract awards, compared to $1.1 million for the same period
last year. $9.7 million of this year's total represents subcontract
awards for both military and commercial aircraft from major aerospace
companies, compared to $282,000 of subcontract awards for the same
period last year. This increase in subcontract awards is a result of
our continued efforts to diversify our customer base and increase the
proportion of work performed in our capacity as a subcontractor to
major prime contractors and is a testament to the quality and
timeliness of the assemblies we continue to provide to all of our
customers."
