FRANKLIN, INDIANA--(Marketwired - Sept. 19, 2016) - IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (TSX VENTURE:IB) (OTCQB:IAALF)
("IBC" or the "Company") a leading beryllium and copper advanced alloys company, announces that
it is now an "Approved Forging Supplier" with Newport News Shipbuilding ("Newport News"), a division of
Huntington Ingalls Industries.
Newport News is the largest shipbuilding company in the U.S. and is the sole designer, builder, and re-fueler of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and one of two providers of U.S. Navy submarines.
The announcement marks the second such attainment by IBC of approved forging supplier status with a world-class shipbuilder in as many weeks.
On September 13, IBC announced that it received "Approved Forging Supplier" status with General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division (see that press release here).
"Achieving approved forging supplier status with Newport News is another significant advance for IBC, and positions us to grow our forged products business," said Major General Duncan Heinz (USMC, ret.), President and CEO of IBC. "These qualifications are not easy to receive from world-class manufacturing concerns such as Newport News and Electric Boat, and I am very proud of our team for achieving these milestones."
IBC's qualification with Newport News positions the Company to provide forged product to Newport News through approved suppliers. The qualification was awarded after Newport News conducted due diligence of IBC's Copper Alloys Division facility in Franklin, Indiana.
Newport News builds the most advanced ships in the world using its expertise in nuclear propulsion, naval design, and manufacturing, and it is currently building the new Ford-class aircraft carriers and Virginia-class fast-attack submarines, and performing Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) on Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. With approximately $4 billion in revenues and more than 20,000 employees, Newport News has built more than 800 ships, including both naval and commercial ships.
