Air Industries Group, Inc. (OTCBB: AIRI), a holding company
established to consolidate manufacturers, engineering integrators and
specialized service providers to the aerospace/defense industry, today
announced that its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Air Industries
Machining Corp. (AIM), has received new orders and multiple follow-on
awards valued at $429,000. These manufacturing requirements include
original production, replacement and spare parts from Northrop
Grumman, a commercial division of Boeing Co., Lockheed Martin, a
division of the world's leading aircraft landing gear manufacturer,
and a division of the United States Military.
As part of the new orders announced today, AIM received its first
award from a new commercial customer. The contract pertains to the
customer's program of rebuilding/retrofitting the Sea King Helicopter,
a commercial aircraft originally manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft
Corporation that is used for search and rescue, passenger and cargo
transport, and communications. As a result of AIM's longstanding
relationship with Sikorsky, it has the requisite proficiency to handle
the requirements of its new customer for the initial provision of
parts. AIM intends to expand its presence as a supplier of parts for
the Sea King Helicopter rebuilding/retrofitting program.
As of June 30, 2007, Air Industries Incorporated had a firm
18-month backlog that was in excess of $48.0 million. This backlog
level, which is derived from business relating to the Company's AIM
subsidiary, is the largest in the Company's history. The backlog at
June 30th reflects a 29% increase as compared to the prior firm
backlog of $37.3 million as of March 31, 2007. Today's announcement
along with other contract awards disclosed since June 30, 2007,
represents additions to the reported backlog level.
The firm backlog at June 30, 2007, represents fully authorized
orders for products to be delivered within the next 18 months.
Additionally, Air Industry Group's projected backlog, which includes
both the firm backlog as well as anticipated order releases, totaled
approximately $65 million at June 30, 2007. These figures do not
include orders relating to Sigma Metals, which was acquired in April
2007, or the pending acquisition of Welding Metallurgy.
