Northstar Network Ltd. Welcomes New Affiliate

October 8, 2009 St. John’s NL --[ASDWire]-- Northstar Network Ltd. (Northstar) announced today that it is expanding it’s Network into Western Canada with the addition of Precision Metalcraft as its first western Affiliate.

Northstar Network has a group of some 25+ companies in Eastern Canada who work together to bid defence & aerospace contracts with IRB commitments. Now at the request of some of prime contractor clients, Northstar has expanded its network to include Precision Metalcraft in Winnipeg to assist in offsetting Western Canada IRB commitments.

As an affiliate of Northstar Network, Precision Metalcraft now has access to a wide array of business development and marketing activities to complement their own capabilities. There are no direct costs associated with Northstar Network affiliation since Northstar bears all costs of business development, contract procurement, contract management and administration, as well as co-ordination with its customers and affiliates. Northstar affiliates gain the added boost of exposure into international markets and contact with large prime contractors who they may otherwise be unable to reach.

Stewart Gibson, Program Manager at Northstar at Northstar Network Ltd., made the announcement noting, “Precision Metalcraft is proving to be a valuable partner to us on the Frigate Upgrade Program and we look forward to building on that relationship.”

On signing the agreement Mike Mizak, Precision’s Vice President, Sales & Marketing at Precision Metalcraft said, “I am really looking forward to combining our resources to bid contracts, and the combination of our quality and competitive pricing with Northstar’s system integration, engineering and marketing experience will make us an unbeatable team.”

Northstar’s President, Howard Nash, welcoming Precision Metalcraft stated “There are numerous other defence programs where prime contactors have expressed an interest in having us integrate east coast and west coast IRBs into our bids, and we look forward to working with Precision Metal to fulfill that obligation. This is the natural next step in evolving our company to make it as easy as possible to bring business to Canada. Having western affiliates in addition to our existing eastern network significantly increases our capabilities and the value of the contracts we can take on.”
