"We are very encouraged by the increased demand in all aspects of our business. Historically, the third quarter is the slowest and worst performing quarter for this industry. Profitability continued to flourish, increasing over 100% as compared to the same quarter of last year. Sales remained strong throughout all product lines, and all geographic sectors. New business represented approximately 30% of our chamber customers, which is a positive indicator of successful market penetration. The North American market thrived, as we received a multiple unit order from the largest manufacturer of avionics equipment, and a single unit order from the third major PC manufacturer this quarter. Asia Pacific represented approximately 60% of our chamber business, solidifying the continued market implementation of HALT and HASS technology in the consumer electronics realm," said Charles D. Johnston, President and CEO of QualMark. "QualMark is also pleased to announce the delivery this quarter of the largest special purpose chamber ever produced to the leading manufacturer of consumer electronics. The chamber will be utilized to perform HASS on LCD panels, which represents one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic industries," concluded Charles D. Johnston, President and CEO of QualMark.
