PRESS RELEASE :
SEPTEMBER 12, 2007
DUCOMMUN INCORPORATED ANNOUNCES $28 MILLION IN LONG-TERM CONTRACTS FOR EMBRAER ERJ 170/190 FUSELAGE AND DOOR SKINS
Under a new five-year contract, Ducommun AeroStructures will continue to supply Latecoere with fuselage skins for the popular Embraer ERJ 170/190
Regional Jet platform, which DAS has been supplying to Latecoere since the inception of the ERJ 170 program. In addition, DAS will provide
Latecoere with door skins for this same program under a new, three-year contract. All work will be performed at DAS’s Gardena, California and
Orange, California facilities.
Joseph C. Berenato, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ducommun, stated, “We are very pleased to expand our involvement with the
Embraer ERJ 170/190 program. We have worked closely with Latecoere to develop a path forward which satisfies both Latecoere’s and Embraer’s
needs in terms of quality, delivery and price, as well as achieving our desire for long-term, stable production on a high volume program which
highlights our large panel stretch forming and chemical milling capabilities. We look forward to using this contract win as a springboard for
other component and assembly work for both Latecoere and Embraer.”
Ducommun AeroStructures manufactures large, complex structural components and assemblies in aluminum, specialty alloys such as titanium, metal
bond and composites for a wide variety of military and commercial aerospace applications.
Founded in 1849, Ducommun Incorporated provides engineering and manufacturing services to the aerospace and defense industry.
The statements made in this press release include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s future
financial results could differ materially from those anticipated due to the Company’s dependence on conditions in the airline industry,
the level of new commercial aircraft orders, production rates for Boeing commercial aircraft, the C-17 and Apache helicopter rotor blade
programs, the level of defense spending, competitive pricing pressures, manufacturing inefficiencies, start-up costs and possible overruns
on new contracts, technology and product development risks and uncertainties, product performance, risks associated with acquisitions and
dispositions of businesses by the Company, increasing consolidation of customers and suppliers in the aerospace industry, possible goodwill
impairment, availability of raw materials and components from suppliers, and other factors beyond the Company’s control. See the Company’s
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for a more detailed discussion of these and
other risk factors and contingencies.
