Hauppauge, NY, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, announced today that its Vicon Industries subsidiary has received a record breaking $10.4 million order for a state government corrections facility in the mid-Atlantic region.
