SAN MARINO, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 27, 2014 — Trans-Pacific Aerospace Company, Inc. (“TPAC” or the “Company“) ( OTCQB:TPAC), a manufacturer of spherical bearings for the commercial aerospace industry, through its China-based subsidiary, is pleased to announce its first purchase order of the Company’s spherical bearings.

TPAC has received an order from a US customer, which shows that the US market is accepting of the Company’s parts, which are qualified to the stringent requirements of SAE-AS81820 and SAE-AS81934. TPAC is the only manufacturer in China to obtain these approvals.

“We have a very short lead time on the order, as compared to industry standards and are confident that we will deliver superior quality parts well within the committed lead time,” said Bill McKay, Chairman and CEO of TPAC. “The order shows confidence in our manufacturing processes and the performance of our products. The significance of the first order cannot be overstated. TPAC is committed to exceeding customer expectations in every aspect of its business and we look at this order as the first of many to come. The Company has additional quotes outstanding, some with major industry players. While there is no guarantee, we are nevertheless optimistic that our team’s marketing expertise and strategic contacts will result in additional orders from both US and Chinese customers.”

According to Boeing, “China continues to lead the Asia Pacific region in new deliveries. Over the next 20 years, Chinese airlines will need nearly 6,000 new airplanes, valued at $780 billion, accounting for more than 40 percent of forecast deliveries to the Asia Pacific region.” TPAC is positioned to take advantage of offset agreements between China and major airframe manufacturers due to its China location.
