WEST WARWICK, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced that a leading Nordic air carrier has selected the ToughWriter® 640 flight deck printer for its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

The airline will be the first to use the 40-column flight deck printer in the 737 MAX. AstroNova’s ToughWriter 640 is used to print flight planning data, ground communications and messages transmitted over the ACARS digital datalink system. AstroNova is scheduled to begin delivering the printer to Boeing in 2018.

“With its light weight, low power consumption and compact form factor, the ToughWriter 640 is ideally suited for the technologically advanced flight deck of the 737 MAX,” stated AstroNova President and Chief Executive Officer Greg Woods. “As today’s announcement illustrates, our Aerospace business unit is playing a leadership role in supplying critical communications technology for the commercial aviation industry’s newest aircraft. Our alliance with this carrier is a result of Boeing’s inclusion of the ToughWriter 640 in its 737 MAX catalog earlier this year. We expect to establish a long and successful relationship with this customer and secure partnering opportunities with other carriers as we move forward.”
