Benjamin Rashleger, president and chief executive officer, commented: We are pleased to report a new multi-year program with one of our existing aerospace customers. In awarding the new program as well as lengthening our existing agreement with them, our customer has shown its confidence in WSI to provide high tolerance machined parts to the aerospace industry. While the aerospace industry represents a smaller percentage of our overall business, we hope to grow this segment in the coming years.

The aerospace industry as a whole is driven to the more stringent AS 9100 quality standards, and we have made it our goal to obtain this certification by the middle of calendar year 2013. Obtaining this certification will complement our existing quality system, and further expand our ability to pursue more aerospace opportunities and will continue our strategy of diversifying our business in both the customers and industries we serve. <\/p>\n
