Adama Technologies president Harold Tanner said: “This is a fairly substantial contract and having the job completed will mean a sizeable influx of revenue for the company that can be put to work as we are continuing to bid additional contracts and expand our client base.”
In February last year, the company commenced production on the F-16 drag brace, which is part of the landing gear assembly for the fighter jet.
Tanner added: “Our company has really worked itself into a niche market where we have truly become experts at production of the entire landing gear assembly and all of the related components.
“This level of expertise and familiarity, along with the fact that we have been in business for more than 50 years, has really separated us and allows us to have a recognisable name in the defence and aerospace industries.”
