ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc. has announced it has been awarded a US$7.7 million order to design, build and install an automated, high-volume assembly system for a leading global provider of advanced electronic security products.

The five-zone manufacturing system, featuring ATS Supertrak (e) high-speed conveyance technology, will be built for this first-time customer primarily at ATS facilities in Tucson, Arizona and Corvallis, Oregon and is scheduled for delivery in early fiscal 2009 (spring of calendar 2008). The name of the customer cannot be released due to customer confidentiality.

“We are delighted to have been selected by this customer to participate in the production of this sophisticated electronic security device,” said Ron Jutras, ATS President and CEO. “This is an exciting project and an excellent example of how ATS's advanced technology toolkit, our strategic sales focus and our well-positioned manufacturing operations in the US have combined to provide us with an entrée into an important new customer account in a growing niche market. We intend to build on this relationship.”
