PERFORMANCE AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

 

The concerted team efforts at the factory enhanced its operations even with adverse and competitive environment at global level. The sales were higher at Rs.237.700 millions  as against Rs. 192 millions in the previous year i.e. a growth of 23.87%. The Printed Circuits Boards (PCBs) Production was also higher at 25,760 sqm as against 21,172 sqm in previous year i.e. a growth of 21.67%. The increased productivity was however eroded by the sharp increase in material costs and high rejections. Tough competition in the global market with China resulting in decreasing sales realization per sqm were other factors, affecting the profitability adversely. The Company continues to export its products to USA, Germany, UK, Switzerland and Singapore.
