PEMSTAR Completes First 500 Subsystems for U.S. Army Land Warrior Program

PEMSTAR Inc. (NASDAQ: PMTR), a leading provider of global engineering, product design, manufacturing and fulfillment services to technology, industrial and medical companies, today announced the completion of 500 navigation, helmet, weapon and soldier control unit subsystems for the U.S. Army's Land Warrior program. The subsystems were delivered to General Dynamics C4 Systems, prime contractor and lead systems integrator for the program.

General Dynamics is integrating PEMSTAR's subsystems, along with other components, into 500 Land Warrior soldier ensembles that are being delivered to a Stryker Battalion at Ft. Lewis, Washington, for testing. Land Warrior is an integrated, modular fighting system that uses technology to enhance individual soldiers' close-combat tactical awareness, lethality and survivability.

To mark the production milestone, PEMSTAR and U.S. Representative Gil Gutknecht (MN-01), hosted a supplier appreciation event that included a Land Warrior program overview and system demonstration.

"The recognition event expressed our appreciation to those suppliers who have helped us reach this milestone," says Al Berning, Chairman and CEO of PEMSTAR. "Each subsystem demonstrates the PEMSTAR team's expertise in the design and production of complex systems and products."
