GALES INDUSTRIES INCORPORATED'S AIR INDUSTRIES UNIT WINS UP TO 5-YEAR GOVERNMENT
CONTRACT FOR BLACKHAWK HELICOPTER SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Deal Potentially Worth Over $1.8 Million
BAY SHORE, NY, June 29, 2006 - Gales Industries Incorporated (OTC BB: GLDS), a
leading operating/holding and management services integrator group within the
aerospace and defense industries, today announced the award of a prospectively
five-year contract for support tube assemblies between its subsidiary, Air
Industries Machining Corporation, and the US Government's Defense Supply Center,
located in Richmond, Virginia. The contract consists of a base year, and four
option years, with a maximum value of over $1.8 million. Initial year production
estimates are in the high six figures.
This source-controlled item is primarily used on the Sikorsky Blackhawk
helicopter, which is seeing extensive action with the US Army in the Iraq War,
and worldwide. It is also used on the Blackhawk derivatives that are supporting
the US Navy, US Coast Guard, and the US Air Force.
Based on its long history of supplying this item to Sikorsky Aircraft, and its
submission of an approved Technical Data Package, Air Industries has been
pre-qualified by the US Government as a source of supply for this item.
Gales' President and CEO Peter Rettaliata commented, "Historically, the
government has exceeded production estimates on similar indefinite quantity
contracts and, as a condition of contract award, Air Industries has agreed to
support all `surge and sustainment' requirements of the US government during the
period of performance."
Gales' Executive Chairman Michael Gales noted, "We are most gratified at the
expanding role of Air Industries among the Blackhawk family of rotary-wing
platforms and our premiere role as a supplier of flight safety components."
Since going public in November 2005, Gales has secured several contracts,
approximating $7 million including the extension of the exclusive Strategic
Spares Alliance (SSA) between its subsidiary, Air Industries Machining Corp.,
and Northrop Grumman Corporation, and for the drag brace assemblies and retract
fitting assemblies on the main landing gear for the Lockheed US Marine Corps'
F-35 JSF Short Take Off and Vertical Landing Aircraft (STOVL) as well as
follow-on contracts for similar drag braces for the F-35 Conventional Take Off
and Landing Aircraft (CTOL) to be deployed by the US Air Force and numerous
other allied countries' air forces.
