The new system will help enable us to achieve our revenue and profit objectives and provide even more exceptional customer service,\u201d stated Neal Keating, Kaman Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n<p>The project is expected to take several years to implement at a total cost of $40-$45 million.

This will provide consistency across the organization, lower maintenance costs and support the three product platforms we have developed. It is also scalable as we pursue our aggressive growth targets for the business. The largest of our current systems is adequate today for our bearing and power transmission product platform but is based on software originally acquired more than twenty-five years ago, and it does not make sense to continue to invest in this legacy system for the long-term. Leveraging the advancements in this new system with state of the art technology and combining that with more efficient and standardized processes will enable KIT to more effectively drive growth, productivity and profitability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Kaman Corporation<\/strong><strong> &#8211; KAMN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kaman Corporation (KAMN), founded in 1945 by aviation pioneer Charles H.
