**Versarien plc** (LON:VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, has told 
DirectorsTalk that its subsidiary, Total Carbide Ltd, has secured its largest ever
single order in the aerospace sector for parts to be used by the UK’s largest aero
engine manufacturer.

The order, with a total value over GBP200,000, is for precision components to be
delivered at regular intervals over the next 15 months for use in engines for one
of the world’s leading airliners.

> **Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented**: “We are very pleased that we 
> have secured this contract to supply specialist parts for such a prestigious customer
> in the aerospace industry, a first for the Company. Total Carbide has been moving
> away from its historic reliance on the oil and gas sector and is seeing interest
> from a variety of end users for its innovative engineering solutions and this 
> is the first of a number of new products being manufactured by one of our more
> mature companies. I would like to thank our employees who have been working hard
> for several months to get the necessary aerospace standards and procedures in 
> place in order to satisfy this order. It has been a hard but productive period
> in our new Total Carbide factory. We hope to invite shareholders to an open day
> at the factory in the coming months to see and learn how our new facility is attracting
> orders such as this one.
> “This has been a very busy period across Versarien as a whole and we are seeing
> record levels of enquires from potential purchasers of our products and users 
> of our technology. We look forward to making further announcements in the coming
> weeks and months.”
