SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., October 12, 2004 -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (Amex: ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Sterilization Division announced today it has been awarded a major contract for Arizona State University to supply three specially constructed cage & rack steam autoclaves, as part of a new facility project.
ETC's ability to provide the largest capacity equipment specifically designed to fit within the limited space available gave them a clear advantage over many other autoclave manufacturers. ETC worked in close cooperation with Sundt / DPR, the construction manager and the architect and engineering company, in custom designing the most optimal sized unit before being selected for the job.
Mark Compo, Director of Sterilizer Sales, commented, "Having been awarded this bid reflects highly on ETC's competence in delivering the unconventional standard to the industry. This project exemplifies our versatility in which we provide tremendous value to our clients through our open-minded approach. Our technical staff is always looking at ways to solve critical space constraints increasingly common to today's life sciences, pharmaceutical, and medical device facilities. This contract is a testament to ETC's design and manufacturing flexibility for which we are clearly recognized as the industry leader".
ETC designs, develops, installs and maintains aircrew training systems, public entertainment systems, process simulation systems (sterilization and environmental), clinical hyperbaric systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, steam and ethylene oxide gas sterilization systems, environmental testing and simulation systems, and related products for domestic and international customers.
