Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. [Operator instructions]. Your first question comes from Shawn Harrison with Longbow Research.
Shawn Harrison
Good morning, and congrats on the quarter. Just a quick clarification. What was the forecast for the medical, as well as the defense and aerospace business here for the first quarter?
Dean Foate
Sorry, we’re just shuffling papers here, Shawn trying to catch with the raw material.
Shawn Harrison
I guess while you’re looking for that maybe if you could comment with the $200 million programs wins, maybe break that out between new and existing customers, the end markets, and how you expect that business to ramp through 2009?
Dean Foate
Yes, and your first question was medical and industrial?
Shawn Harrison
Medical and defense and aerospace?
Dean Foate
Yes, we set the outlook for Q1 for medical was going to be up. I think I said the mid-teens strength, and then defense care and aerospace I said was going to be up in Q1, at about 33%.
Shawn Harrison
Okay.
Dean Foate
And then in terms of new business wins, we had, I think I characterized, 19 of them. The vast majority of those wins, I think 17%, 18% of them, were actually increased share with existing customers. In terms of quantity we did manage to get wins in all of our sectors. The largest numbers of them was 8 of them were in the industrial sector, and then 4 in defense care and aerospace, 3 medical, 2 in wireless, and 2 in our wireline sector. But I’m not going to break out the revenues associated with them individually at this point.
Shawn Harrison
Okay. But maybe how you would expect maybe that 200 million in aggregate to ramp throughout the year. It seem that it’s really backend loaded and nothing really in the first half of the year, if that’s safe to assume?
Dean Foate
Yeah, it is safe to assume. Anytime we announce wins. there is quite a bit of variability as to when the wins ramp up, but we do expect to see a fairly decent amount of it at this points, currently, in.09 but as I said, right now, uncertainty is I don’t know that we can anticipate normal performance out of new business wins, given the current environment. In other words, you know, will that 200 million hold up in terms of revenue volume, given just end market demand. If we’re seeing end market demand programs as well with new program wins. But if you kind of dissect this, there is probably right now about 50% of that 200 million or so that we would expect to see in fiscal 2009.
