(TSXV:OML) (OTCQX:OLNCF) (the “Company” or “Omni-Lite”) is pleased to announce that the aerospace division of the Company is continuing to grow with an additional development order announced on May 30, 2017.

"This program will further demonstrate the flexibility built into the test center," stated Michael Walker, VP of R and D. "If things continue as planned the Company could convert several of it's existing cold forging systems to duplicate the hot forging characteristics of the test center."
