Ken Ice, President and Chief Operating Officer of ICS commented, "We are delighted to announce this initial award, coming on the heels of our December 2007 Orbit International/ICS acquisition announcement.

Each business segment can leverage synergistic solutions to our respective base of new and existing customers and program opportunities that should accelerate the operational growth and financial strength of Orbit International Corp.” Orbit International Corp. is involved in the manufacture of customized electronic components and subsystems for military and nonmilitary government applications through its production facilities in Hauppauge, New York, Quakertown, Pennsylvania and Louisville, Kentucky.
