The win is good news for the firm but won't help its 2012 figures.
In February the company said that margin pressures had overshadowed revenue growth in the half year to December 31st and that full year results would be "materially below previous expectations".
Group revenue during the period rose from £49.6m to £54.1m year-on-year, but underlying profit-before-tax fell to £1m, compared to £2.2m the previous year.
Earnings per share more than halved from 3.6p to 1.4p. The interim dividend was reduced from 3.25p to 1p per share.
Alumasc's shares rose 3% in early trading on Monday following the news of the contract win.
