Control system specialist begins the new fiscal year with order books well filled

Tettnang, June 27, 2011 – In the fiscal year just ended, futronic GmbH generated sales revenues of around 7.2 million euros. This represents an impressive increase of approximately 14 percent compared to the previous year. The share of sales from projects for customers outside the glass industry rose to just under 30 percent. futronic is optimally placed to continue its steady growth trajectory as it enters the new financial period with its order books well filled. The company is currently on the lookout for several qualified staff.

"We are more than satisfied with this positive result", sums up Michael Preuß, who has been Managing Director of futronic together with Wolfgang Lachmann since 2004. The current order situation and the level of development and production capacity utilisation in the next few months are excellent. Preuß is confident that the upward trend will continue. Although the company is endeavouring to handle peak workloads with the help of temporary employment agencies in the short term, a firm commitment to growth has been promised for the medium term: "We are desperately seeking several qualified staff." The Tettnang control system specialist currently provides work to 55 permanent employees and six trainees.

futronic profits from positive investment climate
The sales growth achieved in the fiscal year which ended on March 31, 2011 reflects the positive overall economic trend. The investment climate both in the container glass industry – futronic's core market – and in its fledgling industrial automation segment has improved tangibly. Parallel to this, the company has successfully extended its worldwide sales network in the last twelve months and presented its products and services at numerous international exhibitions. "These measures have definitely paid off", Preuß continues.

Big jump in sales from non-glass industry projects
About fifty percent of all orders from customers spanning a variety of market segments are received from abroad, says Preuß. "That's more than ever before in the history of our company." The majority of them concern machinery for new plant or the modernisation of existing equipment in the glass production industry. The successful launch of the new FDU24S drive system plays an important role here. At the same time, futronic has recorded a significant increase in commissions from the mechanical and plant engineering sector, for instance in bulk solids handling: their share of total sales leapt from 11 percent in the corresponding period last year to 29 percent this year. "We've reached our 25 percent target ahead of schedule", explains Wolfgang Lachmann, futronic's co-Managing Director.

The trend in product business is similarly encouraging. The "Opanski 2002", for example has meanwhile gained a firm foothold in the market. This warning system for oil separators based on radio technology was developed by futronic together with a partner and is sold through, and installed by, authorised distributors.
