TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Aug. 24, 2016) – Firan Technology Group Corporation (TSX:FTG) announced today that its FTG Aerospace Chatsworth business has won a top supplier award from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics for outstanding performance in 2015.

FTG was selected as a top supplier from the over 1,200 suppliers used by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics.
