Falcon(R) Electric Announces Record Sales Growth for Military Power Applications
| Source: Falcon Electric
IRWINDALE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 24, 2006 -- Falcon Electric, Inc. (www.falconups.com), a
leading supplier of power protection and conversion solutions, today
announced that over the past 6 months, it has recorded a 25 percent
increase in sales growth from its military customer base. This fast growth
is reflective of Falcon's rapid dominance in providing the U.S. military
and its subcontractors with the highest caliber of COTS power conversion
and protection solutions. Falcon's products support electronic systems for
the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, L-3 Communications, Raytheon, SAIC and other
preeminent military, defense and aerospace organizations.
The need for precision voltage/frequency converters and on-line
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPSs) is continually increasing as
sophisticated electronic systems are placed on board military aircraft,
ships and radar stations that require clean uninterrupted power. These
critical systems are very sensitive to voltage variances and power
anomalies. By incorporating properly designed frequency converters, line
conditioners and/or UPSs, overall system reliability is greatly increased.
Falcon's frequency converters and on-line UPS products are lightweight and
compact allowing them to fit in very small spaces -- an important
consideration for stationary and mobile field applications.
"We are extremely pleased with the trust our military customers have in
us. Our rapid increase in sales signifies our commitment to delivering
unsurpassed products and customer support," stated Falcon President and
CEO, Arthur Seredian. "Our growth is a further testament of our meeting the
rigorous product demands with the flexibility and performance quality
needed for critical operations. As one of the few companies with the
expertise to design, manufacture and quickly deliver COTS power conversion
products that meet the exacting requirements of military subcontractors, we
look forward to the acceptance of our new products that are very flexible
yet rugged to meet a variety of military applications."
To help meet demand, Falcon recently expanded its ED Series™ Frequency
Converters. The ED Series is a family of high performance single-phase
frequency converters and line conditioners that provide highly flexible and
reliable AC power ranging from 1.5kVA to 5kVA. Utilizing field-proven
double-conversion design, the ED Series offers unmatched power quality
without sacrificing efficiency, size or weight. For military applications,
ruggedized versions are available. Charles Vatcher, a mechanical engineer
for Edwards Air Force Base and user of Falcon's ED Series system,
commented, "As a design engineer, I'm responsible for sourcing components
for the C-130 Hercules. Our requirement called for a frequency converter
capable of changing the 400Hz internal power system to 60Hz, in order to
power the motor of a trailing cone assembly. Other frequency converters
were larger, heavier and more expensive than the Falcon system."
