WEST WARWICK, R.I.--()--AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced that it has secured multi-year contracts from several major Asian commercial airlines and leasing companies for AstroNova-manufactured flight deck printers for installation on new aircraft. The contracts vary in duration from four to eight years. Additionally, the Company has established an authorized repair station in Singapore to support its growing presence in the region.

“These latest commitments from Asia are a great endorsement of the many operational benefits provided by our AstroNova avionics products and our expanded regional presence,” said AstroNova President and CEO Greg Woods. “We are pleased to see the continued expansion of our aerospace business into Asia, which solidifies AstroNova as a global leader in flight deck avionics. We look forward to building additional alliances with Asian commercial airlines and leasing companies over the coming quarters.”

According to the International Air Transport Association, the Asia-Pacific region will be the biggest driver of industry growth over the next two decades, with more than half the total number of new passengers coming from these markets.

“The Singapore repair station simplifies logistics and provides rapid turnaround for airlines that operate in the Asia region,” Woods continued. “The station has received the necessary operational certifications to repair AstroNova products from aviation authorities in the US (Federal Aviation Administration), the European Union (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) and China (Civil Aviation Administration of China).”
