"I am very pleased with our second quarter results and progress at the midpoint of the year," said R. Jeffrey Bailly, Chairman and CEO.

"In Q2, higher revenue combined with improved efficiency enabled us to increase our gross margins to 28% and grow net income by 15%," Bailly said. “We also made an exciting addition to our leadership team, appointing Steve Cardin as chief operating officer at our Dielectrics operation. Steve comes to us from Viant Medical, where he was president of Medical Device Solutions, a $220 million contract manufacturer. With his operations expertise and 25 years of medical device experience with companies such as Vention Medical, Atek Medical, and Baxter, Steve will play a critical role in the execution of our medical growth strategy.”
"Looking ahead, with our strong balance sheet and robust pipeline of growth opportunities, both internal and through acquisition, we are bullish about our future," Bailly added.
