ASC continues to expand, as we receive a jaw-dropping 30 autoclave orders in the first 4 months of the year, many of which are 12 ft. diameter and above. The orders include three large 12x33 autoclaves for Nikkiso's Vietnam facility, one 4.5m x 11m autoclave for Shanghai Aircraft (COMAC), a 15x30 for Triumph in Thailand, a 12x30 for Hexcel in Washington, and two 12x40 autoclaves for their new Mississippi facility.

We also broaden our product line and take orders for four HDF (hot-drape forming) machines from Hitco Corp. to support their 787 production programs.

We continue our "out of autoclave" business with a large oven order from the MiG corporation in Russia.
