VANCOUVER, BC – A subsidiary of Northstar Electronics has received orders from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics totaling nearly $4.12 million for work on the P3 Service Life Extension Project.
 
The work will cover the next 28 aircraft shipsets and is under the umbrella of a previously announced contract.

Production for this phase is scheduled for completion by the end of 2009.
 
TAIWAN – ODM Qisda (formerly BenQ) reported second-quarter consolidated revenue of about $96.6 million, resulting in an after-tax profit of $18.05 million.
 
The firm’s second-quarter revenue increased 4.2% sequentially. However, after-tax profit fell nearly $3.74 million as a result of decreases in non-operating revenue and product profit margins, the company said.
 
HERNDON, VA – An iNEMI two-day summit will focus on the challenges of creating a more sustainable industry. The goal of this summit, scheduled for Sept. 22 and 23 in Schaumburg, IL, is to define specific actions for the electronics industry and organize programs to execute these actions.
 
“How can products be designed to minimize their impact through the lifecycle?” asks CEO Jim McElroy. “How much energy is consumed to produce the product and, more importantly, how much will be consumed over the life of the product? How difficult will the product be to deal with at end of life? We will take a systems view across the supply chain to identify where there are major gaps – and where we think we can make a difference.”
 
Mark Brillhart, VP of manufacturing operations for global supply chain management at Cisco, will address how collaboration can serve as a catalyst for sustainability innovations.
 
Brad Allenby of Arizona State University is another featured speaker. He will look at challenges and opportunities presented by the design and management of emerging technologies in a rapidly shifting social, cultural, environmental and economic landscape.
