"The first nine months demonstrated good demand for Mycronic's production solutions. Order intake increased by 44% compared with the same period 2015 and net sales increased by 9%. We are making significant investments in product development to maintain our competitive edge. And we report an EBIT of SEK286 million, or a margin of 22%, for the first nine months. The order backlog reached SEK1.699 billion," said Mycronic President and CEO Lena Olving.
"The global market for SMT equipment experienced a negative trend in 2015, while Mycronic maintained volumes and margins. In 2016, the slowdown has affected business area SMT, primarily during the first half year. The trend in the third quarter was positive with an increase in the order intake and net sales compared with the third quarter 2015.
"Investments in product development within SMT equipment continue, in line with the strategy. We have launched new products and in this way broadened our product offering, which creates opportunities for growth. The introduction of an updated MY600 for dispensing of several different mounting fluids targets new segments on the SMT market, both from geographic and product perspectives. The introduction has been well received on the market."
To achieve long-term, sustainable growth, Mycronic's strategy includes M&As. "During 2016, we acquired the German company RoyoTech, which developed the strategic storage solutions that are an integrated part of Mycronic's offering for the smart factory. In August, an agreement was signed on the acquisition of Axxon, a leading actor on the dispensing market in China. The acquisition is strategically important as Axxon’s technology and market position complement our own position, which make us a leading global actor," said Olving.
Mycronic is continuing to execute the growth strategy at a high pace, while at the same time delivering good results.
Outlook
The Board’s assessment remains that net sales in 2016 will be at the level of SEK1.9 billion, excluding effects from acquisitions.

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered.
