"These orders validate the optimism we have for fiscal 2013 in the sapphire sector," said Mr. James Molinaro , CEO of TechPrecision Corporation. "Our backlog and customers have conveyed expectations of increased volume in a variety of verticals, including medical and nuclear. Our focus remains on adding a diverse mix of products to both our WCMC and Ranor facilities, better utilizing our capacity and leveraging the often unique expertise we have in a variety of industries. We are well-positioned to execute against this strategy, with a growing pipeline of increasingly diverse customers."
