Quickstep Holdings has secured an $11.3 million purchase order for its Lot 17 F-35 vertical tail components from Marand Precision Engineering, a longstanding to Quickstep on the F-35 program.
The order, which will be handled by Quickstep’s Bankstown facility, is slated for delivery in fiscal years 2024 to 2025.
In an ASX announcement today, Quickstep Managing Director and CEO Mark Burgess said the latest order means the company’s F-35 vertical tail production is also underpinned by firm contacts through FY2025.
“It is a great testament to the quality and delivery performance of our Aerostructures business, especially in a challenging operating environment, that we have secured this follow-on work. We are proud to support this important international program and continue to explore opportunities for additional volume,” Burgess added.
