Contracts Come Despite Snow

While waist-deep snow blankets portions of Arkansas, it’s not stopping several Arkansas operations from announcing new contract orders.

Nordex USA’s Jonesboro factory landed its third contract in its fledgling existence. The wind turbine operation will produce 18 turbines for CG Power Solutions USA, Inc. to be used at a new wind farm in Idaho.
 
The contract includes delivery, installation, commissioning and testing of the turbines along with a maintenance and service agreement.
 
“We are especially pleased that CG Power selected our turbines for this wind project,” said Ralf Sigrist, President & CEO of Nordex USA. “They bring their unique expertise and reputation as one of the top companies worldwide in transmission infrastructure to this project. We also look forward to possible future collaboration for mutual benefit and for the benefit of our customers and operators.”

Also, LaBarge, Inc. has been awarded $2.2 million in contracts from Raytheon Missile Systems to continue to produce cable harnesses and electromechanical assemblies as part of a U.S. military contract.

Production, which will take place at LaBarge’s Huntsville operations, is expected to begin this month and continue through February 2012. A spokesperson for LaBarge tells Talk Business that no new jobs will be added to the company’s workforce of more than 200 for the project.
