Orbit International Corp. has said that its Power Group, through its Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary, has received an order for approximately $1,389,000 for a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) power supply for its COTS division to support a U.S. Naval anti-submarine and anti-ship surveillance targeting system.

Deliveries under this contract are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2010 and continue until the fourth quarter of 2010.

“Behlman continues to pursue a significant amount of business opportunities driven by our ability to provide customers with low cost, reliable COTS power solutions,” said Mark Tublisky, president of Behlman, in a statement.

Tublisky said that Behlman has the unique ability to pursue program opportunities, which typically include significant large production quantity requirements, while still remaining committed to a comprehensive line of catalogue power products for the longstanding global customers.

He said that the company remains confident that Behlman’s current business model, which emphasizes flexible COTS designs and superior customer service, will lead to continued growth.

“Behlman has had a very strong year in its COTS division and is well positioned to receive follow-on production orders on many of its programs. The strength in its COTS division has provided program opportunities that have more than offset the weakness in its commercial division”, said Dennis Sunshine, president and chief executive officer of Orbit International Corp.

Sunshine said that in spite of ongoing economic uncertainty, Behlman’s commercial division, for the third quarter recorded its strongest bookings for the year and this increased demand for commercial power units has continued into the current fourth quarter.

“With a solid foundation of continued COTS program opportunities, now bolstered by increased business from its commercial division, our Behlman Power Group appears to be positioning itself for revenue and profitability growth in 2010,” he said.

Behlman Electronics, Inc. manufactures and sells commercial power units, AC power sources, frequency converters, uninterruptible power supplies and COTS power solutions.

Orbit International Corp. is involved in the manufacture of customized electronic components and subsystems for military and nonmilitary government applications.
