Northrop Grumman Corporation is significantly
increasing its commitment to Australia through
the award of contracts valued at US$7.4 million to three new global supply
chain partner companies who will provide products
and services for a variety of missions and capabilities.
The Australian companies, which form part of Northrop Grumman's
expanded global supply chain, are Electro
Optic Systems (EOS); CEA Technologies; and Insitec.
With expertise
spanning aerospace hardware development, space exploration services and
software design, the companies were selected by
Northrop Grumman under the Defence Materiel Organisation's Global
Supply Chain Program.
Northrop Grumman will continue to seek opportunities to invest in Australian
companies whose operations and
business objectives mutually benefit the US and Australian governments.
In October 2011, Northrop Grumman entered
into a Global Supply Chain Deed, enabling them to work together to identify
opportunities for Australian industry to compete
within the company's global supply chain and those of its major suppliers
Australian companies awarded contracts totaling US$7.4 million.
