Harris recognized Teledyne AES as a contractor for Exceptional Quality in 2018 as Teledyne AES earned a 100% Product Quality Score. Earlier this year, Teledyne AES made a substantial capital investment in a technical refresh of two key equipment lines in its Lewisburg production facility. The capital investment has streamlined production, accelerated delivery schedules and improved overall quality control.
