Trans-Pacific Aerospace Announces US Navy Testing Underway

SAN MARINO, Calif., Oct 10, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. /quotes/zigman/589862 TPAC -9.17% reported today that the U.S. Navy has begun testing spherical bearings from its China subsidiary under SAE Aerospace Standard 81820.

"We are delighted to see that testing has finally commenced, and are confident that the Navy will find the performance of our bearings to spec," said Bill McKay, Trans-Pacific Aerospace CEO.

"Should everything proceed as expected, it means we're roughly four weeks away from our Guangzhou facility becoming the first and only manufacturer in China qualified to produce SAE-AS81820 aerospace quality bearings," McKay added.

Bearings made by Godfrey Guangzhou Aerospace Bearings, the wholly owned foreign entity of Godfrey (China) Limited, Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company's 25%-owned subsidiary, were submitted to the U.S. Navy for official qualification testing in June after rigorous independent third-party testing. At that time, results demonstrated bearing performance beyond SAE specifications.

"Our sales team is ready to follow-through with pre-sale calls immediately upon qualification," said McKay.
