Minister for
Defence Materiel Jason Clare today announced that Victorian-based company
Lovitt Technologies had won a contract with Boeing valued at nearly $1 million
for wing parts for the worldwide F/A-18 Super Hornet fleet.
“This is an
outstanding achievement for Lovitt technologies and is the result of their hard
work and demonstrates their high level of manufacturing capability,” Mr Clare
said.
Lovitt
Technologies employs around 80 staff and specialises in machining, assembly and
testing of aero structures. Lovitt Technologies also recently won another
contract with Boeing to supply machined parts to Boeing for the V-22 Osprey.
Lovitt is
one of several Australian companies that have in recent months been successful
under the Global Supply Chain (GSC) program in penetrating the overseas export
market. It has been engaged in the Australian Government’s Global Supply Chain
Program since the program’s launch in 2009.
Six global
defence prime contractors – Boeing, Raytheon, Thales, Northrop Grumman and more
recently BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin – are now actively engaged in the
Global Supply Chain program implemented through the Defence Materiel
Organisation.
The contract
awarded to Lovitt also reinforces Boeing’s ongoing commitment to Australian
industry through the Global Supply Chain Program,” Mr Clare said.
“The Global
Supply Chain Program continues to provide an avenue for capable Australian
companies seeking to win export work with international defence primes.
“The value
of export contracts won to date that have been facilitated through the Global
Supply Chain Program is now more than $446 million,” Mr Clare said.
