“I am satisfied with our third quarter results,” said R. Jeffrey Bailly, President and CEO. “Sales increased 17%, operating profit increased 36% and we achieved double-digit growth in all markets except automotive, which continues to decline due to the shortage of electronic chips. We have also made substantial progress in our long-term strategic initiatives to expand our footprint and capabilities, and to increase our value for clients. We continued to advance our expansion in Mexico, with facility construction and equipment qualification. We recently completed the acquisition of Contech Medical, the first step in a broader acquisition strategy to help us better serve our core medical customers and their growth plans. We are also looking for other acquisition candidates to provide low cost manufacturing in locations where we currently ship millions of dollars in product.

“The team did a good job dealing with significant workforce and supply chain issues, which resulted in unusually high overtime and $ 4 million in unfulfilled orders,” added Bailly . “We continue to experience limited supplies of raw materials, as well as rising prices. However, after completing negotiations with suppliers and considering other sourcing options, we believe we can mitigate the impact of these issues with planned price increases for our customers. , in the short term, gross margins will remain below our target levels. “

“With our strong pipeline of new opportunities, our strong balance sheet and our proven customer-centric strategy, we remain very excited and optimistic about our future,” said Bailly.
