ITEM 1
Gedera, Israel, September 29,
2009, TAT Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: TATTF)
today announced that it has been awarded,
for the second time in the past 6 months, a contract by Embraer, Empresa Brasileira de
Aeronáutica S.A., one of the worlds largest manufacturers of commercial
aircraft, to be responsible for the design, manufacture, integration, testing, supply, and
product support for the Pack Back-Up Heat Exchanger to be incorporated into the Legacy 450
midlight & Legacy 500 midsize, new executive jets being developed by Embraer. Earlier
this year, TAT was awarded a contract by Embraer to supply the Pre-cooler Heat Exchanger
to the same program.
Assuming the successful development
and marketing of the new aircraft, TAT anticipates revenues from this new contract in
approximately $10 million over a ten year period which should commence some time in 2010.
In addition, it is expected that the product will, in the future, generate significant
additional aftermarket and support revenues. TAT also anticipates incurring certain
developmental expenses over the next two years in connection with the development of the
product. TATs anticipated aggregate revenues in its two programs with Embraer
exceed $35million
TATs President and CEO, Dr.
Shmuel Fledel, remarked that the signed contract with the customer is a significant
achievement for the company and demonstrates TATs continuing ability to support
Embraer with Turn Key Solutions. This contract furthers TATs strategy to be
one of the leading designers and manufacturer of Heat Transfer solutions and products.
This contract significantly adds to TATs market position and enlarges the
relationship between TAT & EMBRAER.
