"I am pleased to report that the implementation of previous discussed operating efficiencies, cost containment strategies and extra production capacity produced significantly improved gross profit margins on record sales for Greystone's third quarter," stated CEO Warren Kruger. Kruger continued, "The increased production throughput helped lower fixed costs allocation per pallet produced thus driving increased margins on greater sales volume. The fourth quarter of our corporate year has historically been strong and with our backlog I look for that trend to hold. We will continue to invest in equipment and facilities to drive growth and shareholder value."
