"We are quite pleased with the improvement in sales and profits we have
achieved during the first nine months of this year," commented Dick Smith, CEO
of Allied Motion. "We continue to achieve significant improvement in sales and
margins from our industrial market solutions business and are encouraged by the
cost improvements we are realizing on some of our commercial motion products
being produced in China. Our year-to-date performance reflects the continued
execution of our strategy which continues to build the foundation necessary to
achieve our long-term goals for growth in sales and profitability, as well as to
facilitate our continued expansion into the motion control industry."
Dick Warzala, President of Allied Motion, added, "Our operations once again
provided sales and earnings growth reflecting our focus on continuous operating
improvements including new customer development, new product development, AST
(Allied Systematic Tools) implementation and LCR (Low Cost Region) ramp up. The
sales increase is a result of organic growth in our markets and the emphasis we
place on executing our growth strategy through the implementation of the
supporting critical issues to leverage our sales force and develop several new
products that meet the current and emerging needs of our served market segments.
While our LCR operation in China generates cost improvements and supports the
needs of our customers with expansion plans in the region, the continuous
improvement in our domestic operations through the implementation of AST and the
emphasis on improving our areas of excellence, allows us to meet application
specific requirements through design and manufacture of engineered product
solutions that meet the exact needs of our customers."
