- 150% Larger than Initial Order Shipped in May - HANFORD, Calif., June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thresher Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets: THRR), a California-based manufacturer of precision recycled aluminum and advanced metal matrix composite parts, today announced it has received an additional production order for an Onodi Tool & Engineering Company ("Onodi"). The order is anticipated to ship within the next 40 days. Based in Melville, Michigan, Onodi is a privately-held manufacturer and assembler serving the United States Government and Tier One combat vehicle manufacturers for over 35 years. "This follow-on order is 150% larger in size from the initial order we received from Onodi last month. Our growing relationship with Onodi demonstrates our ability to meet pent-up demand in the U.S. defense sector. Our military applications are increasingly being deployed to replace more costly, slower and environmentally-destructive parts. Our quote activity with Onodi is very active, and we anticipate to secure additional orders from the company in the near future," said Tom Flessner, CEO and President of Thresher Industries. Since 2004, Thresher has helped Onodi and other leading manufacturers successfully meet the mission-critical requirements of the U.S. Military. The lightweight, reinforced strength of Thresher's 100% recycled aluminum castings are safe for the environment and offer distinct operational and cost advantages in military vehicle use. Thresher's parts can help decrease vehicle weight, which in turn lowers fuel costs and increases the vehicle's capacity to integrate heavier armor application for greater protection.
