NEWARK, NY – EMS firm IEC Electronics Corp. received a $3.7 million order from one of its military and defense customers. Shipments will run from the September quarter through April 2009.

In a statement, chairman W. Barry Gilbert said, “We have a good relationship with this customer. IEC is the exclusive supplier of these products, thus enabling the customer to avoid the uncertainty that can be associated with a new supplier and in turn, allowing us to leverage the experience we have gained from previously building these complex electronics assemblies.”

IEC stressed the latest order is unrelated to a $4.7 million award announced in April, which was for a different program.
