FONTANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--United Launch Alliance LLC awarded AR Tech, a subsidiary of A&R Tarpaulins Inc., its 2010 Small Business Recognition Award. The space launch company chose AR Tech from among many of its worldwide suppliers of products and services.

“AR Tech has demonstrated excellence in providing high tech blankets that protect our launch vehicles,” stated J. Michael Thomas, ULA Vice President, Subcontract Management and Procurement in a letter to AR Tech. “We value the strong partnership between ULA and AR Tech.”

ULA will present AR Tech with the honor during an award ceremony April 21.
