MichaelBruno Wins NATO Electrical Contract



January 18, 2005 -- Michael-Bruno, LLC, announced today that it has been awarded, along with Protecno Impianti S.r.l., its construction partner, a design-build electrical contract from the Joint Task Force (NATO) Command, in Naples, Italy.

"We exceptionally pleased to have been award," explained Giuseppe Bruno, Executive Vice President, Michael-Bruno, LLC. "We've provided architectural design, engineering services, and construction management for the U.S. Armed Forces in Europe for 27 years, but this is our first business relationship with NATO."

Joint Force Command (JFC) Naples was activated on 15 March 2004, when Allied Forces Southern Europe (AFSOUTH), its predecessor command, was deactivated after nearly 53 years of successful activity in support of peace and stability in and around its designated area of responsibility.

The electrical bid was announced in May, with 14 initial competitors. Partnering with Protecno Impianti S.r.l., an industry leader in electrical, mechanical and technical systems installation, was the key to a winning team.

"No design-build contracts were won on the merit of a single partner," said Bruno. "It's a team effort, which we plan to extend to other opportunities throughout Italy and Europe."

The design and construction work is expected to last one year.
