FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HAMMONDS INDUSTRIES, INC.,
A Subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc.,
Announces a new $2,150,000 order for the u.s. army
Houston / Kemah, Texas – July 2, 2007 Hammonds Industries, Inc. (OTCBB: HMDI) Hammonds Industries, Inc. reported today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., has been awarded an order to provide equipment in support of the 800K FSSP Army fueling system. Hammonds will manufacture 72 of its model 4T-4A1 tactical JP-8 injectors, as part of the rapid deployment FSSP (Fuel System Supply Point) program. Hammonds will begin deliveries in August and complete the order by the end of this year. Total value of the order is $2,150,000.
Carl Hammonds, President, reported that the order is a continuation of a long term program to provide equipment to the U. S. Army. The Model 4T-4A1 has been in production for approximately 8 years and was developed by Hammonds specifically for the U.S. Army. The system is similar to those provided by Hammonds to the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marines, but includes additional components, such as repair parts, tools and field test equipment necessary to support troops in the field. The injectors blend three additives necessary in our military’s JP-8 jet fuel.
"Our company is proud to continue participation in this vital project. The FSSP program is on-going and will continue supplying critical fuel related equipment to our U.S. Army. Hammonds has provided JP-8 injectors to all branches of the U.S. military for over 24 years, covering applications from the refinery to the end of the fuel hose" said Mr. Hammonds.
