“We’re pleased with the progress on our strategic initiatives and our business-development efforts,” he continued. “Our medical device engineering acquisition has been accretive and also fosters early-engagement opportunities targeted for this growth market.
“Business conditions in 2016 are looking similar to last year, with mixed performance continuing among our global customers and markets,” Wasielewski noted. “Our leading indicators – pipeline, backlog and engineering project activities – are in better condition than a year ago with some quarterly volatility expected.” He added, “With several key investments moving into the execution stage, we’re focusing on growth in the medical market and profit improvements from operational efficiency and asset utilization.”
