Kevin R. Hoben, Chairman and CEO, announced that the Company’s Net Sales for the first six months of 2019 and 2018 were $53,597,000 and $52,244,000, respectively, increasing 2.6%. Net Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were essentially flat compared to the second quarter of 2018.
The Company’s Net Income through June 2019 was $8,365,000 compared to $8,939,000 through the first six months of 2018, decreasing $574,000 or 6.4%.
