We took delivery of two very competent machines to ensure we continue to maintain our expected class-leading short production and prototype delivery times. Our new Matsuura MX-330 5 axis mill augments our current 5 axis milling capability to our existing 5 axis Fanuc Robodrill D21LiA5 and 5 axis Nakamura Tome NTRX-300 by improving our ability to machine larger complex parts for our land systems customers. Our second new machine procured is a Nakamura Tome WT-150IIMMYS. Our new "Nak" is equipped with 1000psi high pressure coolant coupled with the two turrets and two spindles to enhance our high productivity and capacity. We procured this equipment from Elliott Matsuura in Oakville and continue to be most impressed with the overall technology and standard unmatched service and product support from them.

The team here at Battlefield International would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Our facility will be on holiday shutdown from December 24 through December 26 and once again January 31 through January 1.

Battlefield International believes in building a strong team that fully understands the critical nature of the work they do and the reasons why we need every one of our assembly and machining group to make everything perfect. On day two of the Best Defense show, we engaged our Coupler Assembly Team, Quality Inspection and some key Machining staff. Our Land Systems and Marine specific designed couplers must function flawlessly to support our peace keepers and warfighters who are often in harm's way. Attending this show and tour enabled our team to grasp the seriousness of their work application in the field. On day 2 of the Best Defence show, Battlefield officially presented at the Technical Showcase and explained our firms capabilities to a large crowd of Canadian Military personnel and other defense industry contractors as we continue to move forward quickly with our goal in becoming the world standard quick connect coupling for Land Systems and Marine.

Several of our Battlefield machining team members were guests in attendance at the "Best Defence" show Monday in London Ontario where we were exhibiting. Our team were able to see first-hand exactly where our Land System series LS and HP Land Systems quick couplings are integrated onto one of the most sophisticated light armored vehicles available.
