NETANYA, Israel, April 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (Nasdaq:RADA) announced today that it had received new orders totaling $3.3 million over the course of the first quarter of 2012.
70% of the orders arrived from Israeli customers, 10% from Latin America, 10% from Asia and 8% from Europe.
More than 50% of these new orders are for various Inertial Navigation products, 5% are for Radars, and the rest are various follow-on production and maintenance orders for avionics products and services.
Zvika Alon, RADA CEO, commented: "Although we see delays in new programs around the world, which cause reduction of the total value of new orders received by the company during this quarter when compared to 2011, we are encouraged by the fact that our new product lines gradually become significant part of our backlog. In particular, this quarter we were able to secure more than half of our new orders from the Inertial Navigation product line. The geographical distribution of new orders in this quarter is not indicating major change in our customer base, and we continue to be very active in Latin America and Asia."
