Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

SANTA ANA, Calif., April 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”), a global supplier of innovative electronic and structural solutions for the aerospace & defense industry, today announced that it has been recognized as part of an elite group of top performing suppliers by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics (NYSE:LMT) for 2023 as a recipient of the Elite Supplier Award.

The recognition is based on Ducommun having achieved outstanding performance levels in quality and delivery throughout 2023 and with the 2023 Gulfstream Supplier of the Year honor, which was also awarded to DCO in April, is the second significant customer recognition for delivering exceptional performance and value in all areas. The Elite Supplier Award recognized the efforts of the Company’s world-class engineering and manufacturing performance center in Joplin, Missouri, which provides up to 90 different components, including harness assemblies for the center and wing fuel tanks, directly and indirectly to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics for the F-35 platform and these are utilized across all three variants of the aircraft.

“We are thrilled and honored to be selected for the Elite Supplier Award by Lockheed Martin as we work together to keep our nation and allies safe. This is yet another significant recognition of our Company and team members, who are committed and relentless in the pursuit of excellence in quality and on-time delivery and value creation. DCO has been and continues to be 100% committed to the A&D markets and to be recognized by LMT, the world’s largest defense company, is a major accomplishment,” said Stephen G. Oswald, chairman, president and CEO of Ducommun Incorporated.

Lockheed Martin’s customers demand – and deserve – the highest levels of quality to safely achieve their missions. Quality performance is required at every level of the global supply chain. It requires partners who can harness innovation and remain agile to deliver competitive advantage in both cost and quality. To be recognized as an Elite Supplier Award recipient is an outstanding achievement by Ducommun and a fitting testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of a highly professional team.

Ducommun has been supplying F-35 harnesses to a global customer base for many years, supporting a broad range of major commercial and military aerospace programs.
