ORBIT INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF

PRESIDENT OF ITS POWER GROUP

Hauppauge, New York, February 2, 2012 -- Orbit International Corp. (NASDAQ:ORBT) (“Orbit”) today announced that on January 31, 2012, Mark Tublisky informed the Company of his intention to retire as President of Behlman Electronics, Inc., (“Behlman”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, effective as of May 4, 2012.  Mr. Tublisky will remain Secretary of Orbit International and will render consulting services from time to time. 

Upon Mr. Tublisky’s retirement, Ronald Storm, Behlman’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing since 1991, will assume the role of President and Karl Schmidt, Vice President of Operations, will be promoted to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Behlman.  Mr. Schmidt has been with Behlman since 1985.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit commented, “Mark Tublisky has played an instrumental role in the development of our Power Group since its acquisition in 1996 and has also done an excellent job of transitioning his responsibilities to Ronald Storm and Karl Schmidt over the past several months.   Ron and Karl have had long and successful careers at our Power Group which recently announced record sales and bookings in 2011. They are also driving the continuation of this strong business activity into 2012.  With over 46 years of experience with Behlman between these two senior executives, I am confident that Mark will leave our Power Group in very capable hands.”

Orbit International Corp. is involved in the manufacture of customized electronic components and subsystems for military and nonmilitary government applications through its production facilities in Hauppauge, New York, and Quakertown, Pennsylvania; and designs and manufactures combat systems and gun weapons systems, provides system integration and integrated logistics support and documentation control at its facilities in Louisville, Kentucky.  Its Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary manufactures and sells high quality commercial power units, AC power sources, frequency converters, uninterruptible power supplies and COTS power solutions.
