The partnership covers four key defence programmes, starting with an initial $16m order. However, as US submarine programmes have funding releases, expected orders through the agreement will "likely" develop to over $200m.

NGIT has also signed an exclusivity agreement which will see Goodwin's Steel Castings division serve as the sole supplier for a critical programme component which would account for approximately 25-30% of the total deal value.

"This collaboration strengthens the Group's position in core defence sectors and reflects our growing reputation as a trusted partner in delivering technically advanced components for mission-critical applications. The Board believes this partnership will create further opportunities for collaboration on future defence programmes," the company said.

Goodwin also announced in a trading update that its workload totalled £357m by 31 August, up 24% from April, which was being matched by a similar increase in levels of activity.

Shares were 16.3% higher at 12,961.74p before the close of play.
