Oxnard Unit of Vitro Gets $24.6-Million Contract

The Oxnard unit of Vitro Corp. has received a $24.6-million contract to continue weapons systems work for the Port Hueneme Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, formerly known as NEMESIS.

The five-year, follow-on order calls for Vitro to provide engineering services for such Navy weapons systems as the Tomahawk, Terrier, Tartar and Harpoon missiles.

A Vitro spokeswoman said she did not expect the award to lead to new hiring.

Vitro, a subsidiary of Penn Central Corp., has 125 employees at its Weapons Engineering Department in Oxnard.
