CME Receives 5 and a half Million dollars Order for Army Tactical Power Supplies26 December 2004
The value could total more than $20M in orders. Production begins in 2005 with TPS deliveries each month. With the new TPS, the Army can significantly improve tactical communication equipment in the field.
(PRWEB) December 26, 2004 -- "This large production order is a clear result of CME’s growth and reflects the company’s recognition in the product areas of military power electronics, smart power management, and integrated power supplies. This new product has been long needed and is especially important to the Army so that they can improve their power supply capabilities," said Dr. Nancy Crews, CME President and Founder. "Recent military activities continue to drive the need for more reliable and efficient power supply products that can better support operations and soldier needs”, she stated. The innovative design featured a rugged case and packaging, automatic 115/230 VAC switching, better thermal control, built-in-test, ease of use, and it offered much higher reliability among other features that provide superior performance.
"This award demonstrates the strong commitment that the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command continues to make as they select the best value products and offerors. They’ve demonstrated their willingness to select strong, growth-oriented, leading small businesses that can successfully compete and provide innovative products and technology for the warfighter. This significantly enhances the industrial base that supports our defense agencies, offers healthier competition, and develops needed innovations,” said Fred Munro, Vice President at CME. “We take pride in our continued and growing recognition as a leader in new and innovative military electrical power products and applications development. CME’s Power strategy is to become the supplier of choice for integrated power supplies and smart power distribution, control, and networking products."
CME’s award-winning development and manufacturing center in St. Petersburg, FL is ISO9001:2000 and is the prime location of this contract activity. CME also maintains offices in Orlando, FL and Camden, NJ. The company continues to develop and introduce its own Power and Sensor products into production, while significantly increasing its competitive posture to win new production orders from outsourcing or supplier opportunities. "Growth at CME is helping us to increase production rates and to produce hundreds or even thousands of these products in our facilities without impacting our other production programs," said Emmett Rothe, TPS program manager at CME. “We will continue to grow our capability to respond to these innovative product development and production needs.”
