The value of the final purchase order, once negotiations are completed, is expected to exceed $850,000.  Deliveries for the awards received during August, including the completed units on the expected purchase order against the letter subcontract, are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2017 and continue through the fourth quarter of 2018.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International, commented, “This solid bookings month in August comes on the heels of very solid second quarter bookings in excess of $6,800,000 for our Company.  These awards are well positioning our delivery schedules for 2018.  Furthermore, we are encouraged by many new business opportunities for both our Electronics and Power Groups as both bid pipelines continue to grow.”

The Company also announced that Ronald Storm, President of its Power Group, has decided to retire at the end of the third quarter.  Mr. Storm has been with Behlman Electronics for over 26 years and was Vice President of Sales and Marketing when Orbit International Corp. acquired it from Astrosytems, Inc. in 1996.  Mr. Storm has been the President of Orbit’s Power Group since 2012.  The Company also announced that Joe Pozzolano, hired in March 2017, has been appointed to Vice President of Sales and Marketing of the Orbit Power Group.  Mr. Pozzolano previously was Sales Manager of Brookhaven Instruments since 2012 and Sales and Marketing Manager of Ultra Motion, LLC.

Finally, the Company announced that Karl Schmidt, the Executive Vice President of both its Electronics and Power Groups, has been appointed as Chief Operating Officer of Orbit International Corp.         

Binder concluded, “Ron Storm has played an integral role in building our Power Group and more recently, moving the Power Group toward its new VPX technology as well as placing a greater emphasis on its COTS products.  We are excited with the addition of Joe Pozzolano and the opportunities he has created in the short time he has been with the Company. Mr. Storm has done an excellent job in transitioning his responsibilities to Mr. Pozzolano and we are confident he will play a vital role in the growth of our Power Group.  Finally, Karl Schmidt will assume control of all aspects of Orbit International’s operations and I am confident that he, along with David Goldman, our Chief Financial Officer, will provide the leadership to help us to steer our Company to continued sales growth and operating performance.”
