SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation's (Amex: ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") Testing and Simulations Systems (TSS) Division today announced the award of a $500,000 contract to supply a Conditioned Air Supply (CAS) 3500 System with Environmental Chamber to Kawasaki Motors Mfg. Corp., USA. The Conditioned Air System will be used to test engine performance and emissions.
