July 17, 2006 -- NHBB’s Astro Division has been named a Platinum Source Preferred Supplier for Northrop Grumman Corporation’s (NGC) Integrated Systems Sector. NHBB Astro was one of 31 suppliers from over 1,100 qualifying suppliers honored at the June 27 awards luncheon held in Manhattan Beach, California.

To be considered for this elite status, a company must demonstrate consistent, superior performance in delivering products and services. NHBB Astro has maintained 100% quality for the previous 12 months, providing tremendous support to the production lines and by expediting items through multiple processes with greatly reduced lead times in order to fulfill critical requirements.

“The support of our suppliers is critical to our sector’s ability to produce and deliver affordable, high-performance products,” said Scott J. Seymour, Northrop Grumman Corporate Vice President and President of the Integrated Systems sector. “NHBB’s commitment, innovation, integrity and sustained levels of excellence play a substantial role in our success.”

Northrop Grumman Corporation provides technologically-advanced, innovative products, services and solutions in systems integration, defense electronics and aircraft, shipbuilding and space technology. NHBB has been a key contributor to NGC engineering in developing products and applications for numerous new programs. They are recognized as part of the NGC’s Integrated Systems strategic team.

Cortland Strong, NHBB Senior Sales Engineer and Walt Sweet, NHBB Western Region Sales Manager (pictured) were on hand to receive the award.
