Firan Technology Group Corporation (FTG) Signs 10 Year Lease for Expanded Facility for FTG Aerospace

FTG announced today they have leased a new facility for their FTG Aerospace business. The new facility will allow FTG aerospace to move from the three separate facilities they are occupying into a single, right-sized facility. This move is expected to provide significant opportunities for additional manufacturing efficiencies and build on the great strides made in the last year in Lean Manufacturing improvements.

The lease has a term of 10 years with two options to renew, providing the business with a stable operating base for the foreseeable future. The facility is approximately 34,000 square feet providing more space than the current three facilities and there is an option to add up to 30% more space to the facility if needed.

The facility is within 5 kilometers of the current site, and has excellent road and public transportation access ensuring 100% retention of the skilled staff employed in the business.

FTG takes possession of the facility in July, 2007 and following a period for leasehold improvements, expect to move the business by October, 2007. The Company, with the assistance of expert consultants, is developing a facility layout optimized for Lean Manufacturing flows and has established a move plan to ensure no disruption of shipments to all customers.

“FTG Aerospace has been growing rapidly due to the strength of the Aerospace and Defense market and our internal focus on Operational Excellence,” stated Brad Bourne, President and CEO, FTG Corporation, “and we are committed to providing this key part of FTG with the necessary infrastructure to continue this growth for the future”.

Collin Latchman, Vice President and General Manager, FTG Aerospace added, “The new facility is ideal for our business and we are confident that moving the business into a single facility will provide many benefits including improved opportunities for Lean Manufacturing, improved communication within the business and reduced costs all leading to increased capacity, reduced cycle time and further improvements in our never ending journey towards Operational Excellence.”
