Hardide plc (LON:HDD), the provider of advanced surface coating technology, has today announced that it has received an order worth $770k from the General Electric Company Inc (“GE”). This new order is for the application of Hardide coating to the same family of components as covered by the Supply Agreement that expired in February 2017. The order will be satisfied by the Company’s US facility for delivery before the end of the 2017 calendar year. The order is incremental to management’s existing expectations for the current year and underpins existing projections for the following financial year ending 30 September 2018.
Finncap said: “The group has announced that it has received an order from GE worth $0.77m over the course of the next year. The contract value is incremental to the management’s previous expectations and results in a small upgrade to our forecast for the current year and helps underpin existing expectations in 2018. This announcement follows hot on the heels of the recent Graco contract announcement and also the significant announcement that it has gained approved supplier status for Airbus.”
