OMNI-LITE INDUSTRIES CANADA INC.
OML-TSX VENTURE
CERRITOS, CA, April 3 /CNW/ - Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. is pleased to announce that revenue in the first quarter of 2007 increased approximately 61% over revenue in the first quarter of 2006. Revenue for the period was approximately $1,636,000 US versus $1,013,680 US in the first quarter of 2006. This represents a record for revenue in the first quarter. This growth was primarily from increased deliveries in the military and aerospace divisions. Deliveries in the military division increased 536% over those in 2006, while those in the aerospace division increased approximately 34%.
"This significant increase in revenue justifies the many activities undertaken in the Vision 2010 Growth Plan announced by the Company in late 2005," stated Paul A. Burkey, President and COO. "Without the significant expenditure on new equipment, increased emphasis on attracting new high caliber employees, increased internal tooling support and the dedication of the entire staff at Omni-Lite, the implementation of the Vision 2010 plan would not be achieved. In addition, the record results in the first quarter were made possible by the significant efforts, in both product design and development, that were undertaken in Q3 and Q4 of 2006."
As part of the Vision 2010 plan the Company received two new five die progressive cold forging systems in March 2007. These machines are worth approximately $640,000US. These machines are expected to be utilized in the aerospace division to support one of the Company's long-term customers. The development of these new products is expected to begin approximately April 15, 2007. The Company expects the delivery of two additional six die progressive cold forging systems in October of this year.
To provide additional floor space without changing location or renting additional facilities, the Company has installed approximately 1300 square feet of structurally reinforced mezzanine. This has the effect of increasing the manufacturing area by about 7%. The size of the mezzanine can be doubled in the future should additional area be required. This should allow the company to remain in the existing facility for the next several years.
Omni-Lite is a rapidly growing high technology company that develops and manufactures precision components utilized by approximately 100 companies including Boeing, Airbus, Alcoa, Daimler-Chrysler, the U.S. Military, Nike and adidas.
