7 September 2010 Avingtrans plc ("Avingtrans" or the "Group") Aerospace Division Contract Wins Avingtrans (AIM:AVG), the designer, manufacturer and supplier of critical components and associated services to the energy, medical, industrial and global aerospace sectors, announces the following contract wins by its Aerospace Division with a total worth in excess of £10 million over the next 5 years. Sigma Precision Components has signed a strategic long term agreement with Eaton Aerospace to supply machined components and pipe assemblies, worth £8 million over 5 years. This includes a recent project to absorb 180 outsourced machined component part numbers, worth £300,000 per annum, run by a dedicated Sigma project team working closely with their counterparts at Eaton Aerospace. Sigma has also successfully supplied first article samples of titanium pipe assemblies to Eaton at Titchfield. Orders have now been placed for an initial production run worth £500,000 with the prospect of further orders in 2011. Eaton Aerospace is now the second largest customer in Avingtrans' aerospace division. In addition, Sigma Precision Components UK has signed a global purchasing agreement with Meggitt to supply precision machined components, being the first Meggitt supplier to do so. This secures £2 million of business with the Meggitt sites in the UK and China over the next 3 years and provides a firm platform from which to win additional contracts. Recent wins include orders for machined parts for the BR725 engine programme supplied to Meggitt Control Systems' site in Coventry. Steve McQuillan, CEO of Avingtrans, said: "Following the recent name change of B&D Patterns to Sigma Precision Components UK, these are significant new contract wins for Sigma and the longer term agreements demonstrate its growing reputation supplying the highest quality products into the aerospace industry. Key Aerospace OEMs increasingly see Sigma UK and Sigma China as one unit and as a strategic supply chain partner for long term development". www.avingtrans.plc.uk Enquiries: Avingtrans plc, Steve McQuillan, CEO Tel: +44 (0)115 949 9020 FinnCap Tel: +44 (0)20 7600 1658 Marc Young/ Henrik Persson - Corporate Finance Brian Patient / Steve Norcross - Corporate Broking Hansard Communications, John Bick /Guy McDougall Tel: +44 (0)20 7245 1100
