BALTIMORE, Aug. 4, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VYST), a leading edge homeland defense solutions provider, announced today that it has contracted Inter-Connect Electronics, Inc. to manufacture and assemble the Visual First Responder (VFR) product.
Inter-Connect Electronics, Inc. (ICE) a privately held business located in Baltimore, Maryland, serves a vast array of government and private contractors for custom cable assemblies and distribution of electronic components. Inter-Connect has manufactured assemblies for numerous projects with the U.S. Department of Navy, the Department of State, and several large, private military contractors such as AAI, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman, to name just a few. ICE has supplied View Systems with components and circuit boards and will partner with View to ensure components supply and enhanced delivery. ICE's manufacturing assistance will first be used to clear the company's current backlog.
William Jordan, View's manufacturing engineer, will supervise as project manager until Inter-connect Electronics absorbs the current manufacturing process. Mr. Jordan will be directing efforts to move the production to Inter-connect. Mr. Jordan will also be coordinating upgrades from the Federal Lab (INL) and working on enhancements and further reducing manufacturing costs. Mr. Jordan has a degree in electrical engineering from University of Arizona and has over 15 year's experience in design and production of electro/mechanical systems.
Mr. Jordan states, "View's engineering environment has allowed me the flexibility necessary to fully support and ensure the continued success of the VFR's sales and manufacturing. My initial thrust will be to transition and reduce the backlog to bring increased revenue to View Systems. In my previous positions I had the opportunity to create vision systems and have brought a series of design enhancements and cost reduction measures to View."
View Systems' CEO, Gunther Than, states, "Our current overall back log is well over $700,000 and we are getting a little help from our friends. Reducing the time between order and delivery will reduce labor cost and continue to move the bottom line of the company further into the black. We are keeping our focus on basic business fundamentals, supporting our business partners and additional sales."
