A Thomaston-based manufacturer that designs and builds oxygen generation equipment for the military has won a $41.4 million contract from the Navy.

Treadwell Corp. has won a contract to produce up to 25 low-pressure electrolyzer production units for submarine life support service, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. 

The technology essentially produces low-pressure oxygen for Navy personnel on underwater submarines. 

According to the company’s website, Treadwell has designed and manufactured electrolytic oxygen generation systems for the U.S. Navy since the 1950s.

The company also noted on its website that it won a similar $49.6 million contract in 2011 to furnish the Navy with up to 17 low-pressure electrolyzers and provide installation services and training.
