BROOKLYN, NY – IEH Corporation announced today that in the past week it has booked over $1 million in new orders for their hyperboloid connectors in support of the Boeing 737Max jet.
Dave Offerman, President and CEO of IEH Corporation commented, "This is a very positive development for our company, especially for the revenue we generate from the commercial aerospace sector. The orders themselves are meaningful, but even more significant is what they portend; that the post-COVID recovery of the commercial aviation industry has begun to impact the 2nd and 3rd tier component suppliers in the aerospace supply chain, which includes IEH.
As discussed in prior communications, the worldwide grounding of the Max jet in late 2019, followed by the steep decline in air travel in early 2020 due to COVID, was incredibly disruptive to the commercial aerospace supply chain. It created long delays and bottlenecks, and as people began flying again, severe imbalances in supply and demand. It has taken a long time for the airplane manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers to work through the inventory that had accumulated pre-COVID, and reach a stage where components like connectors would again be necessary to complete module and subsystem builds. While the recovery will continue to be gradual and measured, this influx of orders signifies that the return to pre-COVID levels of production is approaching, which bodes well for IEH's revenue recovery over the coming quarters."
