Power Contracts to US Defence Sector totaling $5.1m

& Notice of Trading Update

 

Solid State plc (AIM: SOLI), the specialist value-added component supplier and
design-in manufacturer of computing, power, and communications products,
announces that Custom Power USA has been awarded two significant contracts
with a combined value of $5.1m (£3.8m) from two leading defence prime
contractors for battery packs to be used in the US defence sector.

 

Both contract awards, made following lengthy and rigorous design phases, will
utilise the battery packs in harsh environment applications in maritime and
aerial technologies.  Deliveries will commence in early 2025 and are expected
to conclude within the calendar year. Both programmes have the potential for
multi-year framework agreements.

 

Commenting on the contracts, Matthew Richards, Managing Director of Custom
Power, said: "Whilst diverse in operating environments, these two contracts
respectively required solutions that optimised size, weight and power for
operation in harsh environments, which are key strengths for Custom Power.

 

"We are delighted that in both instances, existing customers, who are leaders
in their respective markets, selected our Fountain Valley California facility
as their business partner for such prestigious programmes that have the
potential to run for several years."

 

Notice of Trading Update

Solid State expects to announce a trading update for the six months to 30
September 2024 in November.
