Rail contract win

LPA Group PLC ("LPA" or "the Group"), the lighting, power and electronics system manufacturer and distributor, announces a significant new contract win by its new business offering, LPA Transport+.

LPA Transport+ is a new business initiative by the Group, combining its electro-mechanical, lighting and electronics expertise with onsite installation to provide clients with a total solution for equipment maintenance, refurbishment or upgrade.

Under a £0.3m contract, LPA will manufacture and install an upgrade module to the cab desk of a fleet of Electric Multiple Unit trains operating in the South East of England. The contract will commence during this financial year and complete early next financial year.

The module will utilise a number of LPA in house skills including design, sheet metal fabrication, painting, screen printing, component procurement, harness build, wiring, assembly and installation on the train.

Peter Pollock, Chief Executive, comments:

"This project is very exciting as it combines a number of LPA capabilities in a single source solution for a new client. This demonstrates that the market needs such a service and the response has been very positive."
