CLEVELAND -- Hickok Inc., a Cleveland, OH-based supplier of products and services for the automotive, locomotive and aircraft industries, said it recently received a major order from a tool supplier for a large automotive manufacturer. The order, valued at approximately $5 million, is for a proprietary product that tests a vehicle's fuel delivery system including flow of the vehicle's fuel injectors while on the vehicle.

Robert Bauman, president and CEO said the tool supplier would take delivery of the product as soon as the company can produce them and that deliveries are expected to begin in about 90 days. He also stated that the order will have a significant positive influence on the company's operations this fiscal year. In addition, he said the company's other businesses are doing better than a year ago and he expects a profitable year for the company.

Including the new order, the company's backlog of orders as of March 10, was approximately $6.8 million. The company anticipates that most of the current backlog will be shipped in fiscal 2006.
