Orbit International's Power Group Receives Several New Orders Valued in Excess of $980,000

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT) today announced that its Power Group, through its Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary (“Behlman”), has received new orders valued in excess of $980,000.

“Behlman’s extensive experience in providing modified COTS power solutions has enabled it to expand into new markets and fuel our sales growth. In addition to the strong business activity in our COTS products division, Behlman’s commercial division is also experiencing one of its most successful years.”

The first order, valued at approximately $612,000, is for a COTS power supply used in a satellite communication system. This is Behlman’s fifth production order for these units and it expects additional orders for these power supplies in 2012 and beyond. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2012 and continue through the fourth quarter of the year.

The second award, valued at approximately $197,000, is for a COTS power supply used in a United States Naval Electro Optical Sensing System and is a follow-on to the $470,000 order Behlman received for this power supply in September 2011. This order is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2012. As previously announced, option quantities have been quoted through 2015, which if awarded, could bring the total amount of orders for these units to over $1.5 million.

The final order, valued at approximately $175,000, is for several VITA62 VPX power supply cards to be used in an open architecture computer system. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2012 and continue through the second quarter of 2012. This order represents Behlman’s continued expansion into the COTS power supply market with products that Behlman projects will have wide range use in both military and industrial applications.

Mark Tublisky, President of Behlman added, “Behlman’s extensive experience in providing modified COTS power solutions has enabled it to expand into new markets and fuel our sales growth. In addition to the strong business activity in our COTS products division, Behlman’s commercial division is also experiencing one of its most successful years.”

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International commented, “Behlman’s bookings in the month of October slightly exceeded $2.2 million and its total 2011 bookings through October 31^st were up 24.9% over the same period of the prior year. Based on activity in November, both bookings and shipments for 2011 have already set a new annual record for our Power Group. In addition, based on these bookings and delivery schedules, we believe our Power Group is well positioned for another strong operating year in 2012.”
