Orbit International’s Electronics Group Reports February Bookings in Excess of $1,250,000

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., March 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbit International Corp. (OTC PINK:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, today announced that its Electronics Group (“OEG”), reported bookings for the month of February 2021 in excess of $1,250,000. Deliveries for certain of these orders have already commenced and are expected to continue through the second quarter of 2023.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International commented, “The orders received during the month were highlighted by the commencement of a new production award of a second-generation unit used on major aircraft programs as well as a follow-on order for a display also used on a major aircraft program. We are encouraged that this new generation unit could provide our Company with significant future business as it has the potential to replace many of the older units in the field.”

Binder added, “During the second half of 2020, our Orbit Power Group (“OPG”) recorded strong bookings for its power supplies utilizing its VPX technology as well as other COTS power supplies. Through the first two months of the current year, many of our customers have commenced discussions with our OPG that we believe could continue the momentum of firm new orders for our VPX power supplies in the first half of 2021 although the timing of these awards is an uncertainty. Our increase in VPX and COTS power supply bookings have offset weak bookings from our commercial division, which we expected due to the adverse effect the pandemic has had on the industries we serve such as oil and gas exploration and our test and measurement business.”

Orbit International Corp., through its Electronics Group including its new Q-Vio subsidiary, is involved in the development and manufacture of custom electronic device and subsystem solutions for military, industrial and commercial applications through its production facility in Hauppauge, New York. Orbit’s Power Group, also located in Hauppauge, NY, designs and manufactures a wide array of power products including AC power supplies, frequency converters, inverters, VME/VPX power supplies as well as various COTS power sources.
