ELKHART, IN -- CTS Corp. today announced a $32 million deal to build a electronic throttle control accelerator pedal module for a major Japanese automobile manufacturer.

Production is scheduled to start in July of 2007. The production program is expected to generate sales of over $7 million per year by 2008 and over $32 million in total new revenues for CTS over the life of the program.

CTS did not disclose the OEM's identity.
