MANCHESTER-based EDM has announced a Chinese order worth more than £500,000.
The Newton Heath-based company's managing director, Tony Bermingham, is part of the delegation of business leaders on a trade mission to China with Prime Minister David Cameron.
While in Shanghai, Mr Bermingham will sign a contract worth around £520,000 with Xi'an Feibao, EDM's partner company in China, for the supply of its SEPTRE cabin crew training software system.
Mr Wang Li Zhi, president os Xi'an Feibao, will be signing the contract on behalf of Xi’an Feibao and the end-customer receiving the SEPTRE system will be Beijing Capital Airlines.
EDM formed its partnership with Xi'an Feibao in 2008 and the companies have been working in co-operation to supply cabin crew training equipment to China's domestic airlines and aviation authorities.
Mr Bermingham said: "This contract further demonstrates the successful and long-standing partnership between EDM and Xi'an Feibao.
"Our co-operation is truly bi-directional; EDM has gained access to Chinese customers to a far greater extent than we could have independently and Xi'an Feibao has benefited from our technical expertise."
Moreover, both companies are collaborating to grow business outside China and EDM recently announced that it has been selected by Garuda Indonesia to design and manufacture a range of cabin crew training equipment.
China is now EDM's biggest market and represents 65% of the company's export sales.
