Ceradyne receives $3.5m ESAPI body armour order

Ceradyne, Inc. announced that it has received a delivery order for approximately $3.5 million for ESAPI (Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert) ceramic body armor plates. Ceradyne plans to complete this delivery order in the third quarter 2011.

The release was issued under the $2.37 billion ID/IQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) contract originally issued in October 2008 and scheduled to expire in September 2013. There is a balance of approximately $2.1 billion remaining on the ID/IQ contract. Ceradyne's practice is to only book firm delivery orders such as the above $3.5 million as backlog for scheduled delivery.

David P. Reed, Ceradyne President, North American Operations, commented: "We are extremely pleased to have been awarded this ESAPI contract which represents the continuing nature of ESAPI requirements. We anticipate meeting the government's quality and delivery requirements with this delivery order shipped complete in Q3 2011."
