Kitron receives order from Kongsberg

(2014-10-09) Kitron has received a new order worth approximately NOK 51 million

from Kongsberg Gruppen for delivery of electronic modules that are part of

Kongsbergs's weapon control system Remote Weapon Station (RWS).

It is Kitron's American subsidiary Kitron Inc. that has received the order from

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS. The order is related to the CROWS program in

the United States and includes delivery of electronic modules. Production will

take place at Kitron's plants in Johnstown, United States, and Arendal, Norway.

Product deliveries will begin in early 2015 and continue throughout 2015.

"This is an important agreement for Kitron, and it secures further order

visibility for the business in the United States. Kitron is working hard to

expand in the defence sector, and this year's order intake has demonstrated that

this approach is successful," said acting CEO of Kitron, Dag Songedal.

Concurrent with the new order, Kitron has been informed that parts of the order

that was made public in December 2012, for delivery in 2014 and 2015, will shift

slightly in time. Deliveries for this order have already started, but the main

volume will move forward in time to the second half of 2015 and to 2016.
