Mon Sep 22, 9:30 AM

BURNABY, BC, Sept. 22 /CNW/ - International Water-Guard Industries Inc. (IWG) is pleased to announce that it is commencing supply of complete water system assemblies to Midcoast Aviation of Cahokia, IL.

"The extension of our relationship with Midcoast to the supply of complete water system assemblies is a vote of confidence in the capability of IWG as an aircraft system supplier," said IWG President & Chief Executive Officer David C. Fox. "We have been supplying our water treatment units for several years. With our expanded engineering capabilities and AS9100 certification, progression to the system level was a natural for us."

The assemblies or "pallets" are Midcoast's own design. "Supporting a completion center on a build-to-print basis is a new direction. With the current pressures on aircraft delivery, we are able to use our special water system expertise in supporting the completion industry to accelerate production. This capability can only be provided by a fully qualified supplier such as IWG," says Fox.

Initial deliveries will begin in early 2009.
