CEO, Fawad Maqbool elaborated on the reasons for AmpliTech’s success in 2018: “AmpliTech has aligned itself with rapidly growing market sectors like Telecom and Satcom. Our R&D in 2017 and 2018 focused on developing high performance products for Wi-Fi in the airlines and high-speed satellite internet gateways that have now become designed-in as standard products by new industry-leading customers. We have had similar success in other sectors of the RF/Microwave market, so we hope our growth will continue in 2019.”

AmpliTech has added to its customer base and has seen an increase in demand for its legacy products in the Defense and Military sector as well. Below are some key reasons for AMPG’s performance in 2018 vs. 2017:

·       New products with higher gross margins and ASP

·       Addition of channel partners to increase throughput and volume via shared resources

·       Enhanced distribution and sales network

Looking ahead to 2019, AMPG has a brighter outlook than 2018 for the following reasons:

·       New base of designed-in products with key new customers

·       Repeat orders expected for improved performance products for both legacy and new customers

·       Representative and distribution network should yield more leads and sales

·       Plan to re-structure management and Board to attract investment

·       Secured $350K debt financing towards enhancing infrastructure and following growth initiative

We believe that AMPG remains poised to capture the business from rapidly emerging technologies, employing its unique proprietary technology and experience to offer innovative solutions for global communications. Our products are designed into wireless, quantum, satellite, radar, and many commercial applications already and AMPG plans to continually increase its footprint in these very large markets.
