Hauppauge, NY, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cemtrex, Inc. (NASDAQ:CETX, CETXP)), a diversified industrial and technology company, today announced that its Vicon Industries subsidiary has received orders totaling approximately $2.8 million in the current fiscal quarter from a U.S. federal government agency, through an existing channel partner, for its video surveillance products and Valerus video management platform. The orders are expected to ship in the current fiscal quarter.

The awards reflect continued expansion of Vicon's business with federal government customers, following the approximately $2 million correctional facility order in the United Kingdom announced in May 2026, and underscore sustained institutional and public-sector demand for the Valerus platform.

Separately, Vicon released Valerus 26.1, a major update to its video management software. The release introduces GPU-accelerated video processing, delivering smoother, faster streaming and forward and reverse playback at speeds up to 1000x directly in the browser. The upgrade represents a significant advancement for the web client and a direct investment in Vicon's core markets of government, corrections, and education, where customers have operated Vicon systems for decades.

In the Company's Industrial Services segment, Plant Engineering Services (PES), the engineering business Cemtrex acquired on July 1, 2026, has been awarded five projects totaling approximately $410,000 in support of a 5,000-ton water press restoration and modernization program for a leading precision forging manufacturer in California. The awarded scope spans engineering, equipment design, fabrication, assembly, installation, and system integration, including a turnkey accumulator level control system, control panel upgrades, and hydraulic system modernization.

"Federal orders of this scale demonstrate that the work at Vicon is converting into results," said Saagar Govil, Chairman and CEO of Cemtrex. "Government, corrections, and education are demanding environments where reliability wins, and the combination of these orders and the Valerus 26.1 release shows the platform earning that confidence."

"PES is generating meaningful project awards within its first full quarter as part of Cemtrex," Govil added. "That is the acquisition model working as intended: acquiring durable businesses and supporting them as they grow. We remain focused on disciplined execution across all of our segments."
