TORONTO, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Unisync Corp. (TSX: “UNI”) (“Unisync“) is pleased to announce that the Department of National Defense (“DND”) has exercised a further $3.8 million in contract options bringing the total firm orders under contract to $22.1 million at its Winnipeg based subsidiary, Peerless Garments LP (“Peerless”). The two options exercised involve the production of an additional $2.4 million of flyer coveralls and $1.4 million of flame-resistant tactical helicopter shirts and trousers.
