Specifically, FTG accomplished the following in Q2 2024, which continues to improve the Corporation and position it for the future:
Integration activities in Circuits Minnetonka progressed well in the quarter including going live with the FTG ERP system. The ERP transition resulted in a negative impact on production in March and April, but May saw a return to expected throughput levels. The site renewed a multiyear contract with one of its largest customers at improved price levels in the quarter.
Integration activities in Circuits Haverhill advanced with the receipt of new drills and electrical test equipment. The expansion of the customer base progressed in the quarter. The site installed new servers and the FTG ERP system in Q2 with full implementation targeted through the second half of 2024.
Customer orders received in Q2 2024 totaled $58.7M, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.51:1.
The Corporation was awarded a contract valued at approximately $17.0M to supply cockpit interface assemblies for the display suite on COMAC's C919 aircraft. The period of performance for this contract extends from the second half of 2024 through to the third quarter of 2026. Production will take place at FTG’s manufacturing facilities in Toronto, Canada, and Tianjin, China. Production will start in Toronto and transition to Tianjin during the contract period.
