About this update from Astronova, Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":" WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nAstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced that it has been qualified as a Tier 1 supplier by Airbus for the A320 Family of commercial aircraft. The designation enables AstroNova to supply its flight deck printers directly to Airbus rather than through a third party. Prior to becoming a Tier 1 supplier to Airbus, AstroNova supplied its flight deck printers to Airbus via a third-party supply agreement. The agreement has been in place since 2017, when AstroNova acquired an exclusive worldwide license from Honeywell International, Inc. to manufacture its PTA-45B narrow-format cockpit data printer for the A320 portfolio.\n\n“Qualification as a Tier 1 supplier for the A320 is a significant accomplishment for AstroNova and our Aerospace business unit,” said Gregory A. Woods, AstroNova’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Direct-supplier status means that we have achieved all of Airbus’ stringent qualification standards across four areas: engineering, manufacturing, aftermarket support and program management. Joining the direct Airbus supplier network is a further testament to the quality and high level of performance AstroNova has attained as a growing global aerospace supplier.”\n\nThrough its Aerospace business unit, AstroNova produces a range of airborne printers and networking systems for commercial, business jet and military aircraft. In addition to Airbus, AstroNova is qualified as a Tier 1 supplier by most of the world’s leading airframe manufacturers including Boeing, Embraer, Dassault Aviation, ATR, Lockheed and Gulfstream.\n\nAbout AstroNova\n\nAstroNova Inc.
