Johnson Outdoors has been awarded a five-year contract for the Expanded Soldier Crew Tent (ESCT) by the U.S. military. The new government contract calls for annual orders of the seven-man all-weather tent, which provides billeting for combat vehicle crews, to range between $300,000 and $2 million. The ESCT orders will be produced by the Company’s operation located in Binghamton, New York.

The ESCT contract adds to Johnson Outdoors’ growing list of government supply contracts, and follows closely behind receipt of an urgent need military order for modular general purpose tent systems (MGPTS) totaling $42.9 million, announced in December, 2003. The company expects total military sales for 2004 to exceed 2003 record levels of $43.8 million, and continues to pursue other military contracts.
