Globe Composite Solutions to Provide Composite Components to the U.S. Navy Company awarded $2.7 million contract to outfit Seawolf-class submarines Dallas TX and Rockland MA, May 15, 2009 – Globe Composite Solutions, Ltd., the leader in providing composite-based solutions for military, industrial and commercial applications, announced today that it has been awarded a $2.7 million contract from the U.S. Navy to provide special acoustic materials for Seawolf-class attack submarines. This order falls closely on the heels of Globe’s $2 million contract award to supply similar acoustic components for the newly-designed Block III Virginia-class submarines. Component production is scheduled to begin in July and Globe will increase the workforce of its Rockland MA facility to accommodate this business. The Seawolf submarine provides the U.S. Navy with an undersea weapons platform that can operate in virtually any scenario against threat with a wide spectrum of mission capabilities including surveillance, intelligence collection, special warfare, cruise missile strike, mine warfare, and anti-submarine warfare.
“Since 2004, Globe has been providing acoustic materials and components to General Dynamics Electric Boat and Northrop Grumman Newport News, the two prime contractors overseeing new submarine construction”, said Kevin J. Lynch, Globe’s program manager for Military and Defense products. “This order is the largest single contract we have received directly from the U.S. Navy and further demonstrates our ability to respond to accelerated delivery schedules for these engineered composite components”, he added.
“We are pleased that we were selected to provide these mission-critical components for the Seawolf program,” said Carl W. Forsythe, President & CEO of Globe. “Over the past five years, the employees of Globe have worked hard to position our company as the recognized leader of cost-effective, high-performance parts and components.”
