Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc:
"I am pleased with our profitability in the third quarter. The operating profit of 6% shows that the restructuring and efficiency measures we have taken can already be seen in our result. We have concentrated on our profitable businesses, and our cost structure is significantly lighter. We will continue to challenge our current ways of operating as well as our cost structure. We target to achieve even more agile operating model and lower fixed costs.
January–September turnover was EUR 386 million. The growth in pro forma turnover was 3.6% year-on-year. During the third quarter, customer demand decreased in general, and the market situation was and continues to be challenging.
The integration of companies, elimination of overlapping activities as well as the restructuring of unprofitable factories proceeded according to plans. The Dongguan plant in China was closed down, and the statutory labor negotiations to adjust Vantaa plant's operations were started."

Punching Out: How Many PCB Companies Are There in North America Now?
03/19/2026 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!When I am asked how many PCB shops are still in the U.S., my answer is usually, “About 130. How many do you want to buy?” However, I do not really know the number. My job is either to sell PCB shops or help people buy them, not to count them. I probably should keep better track of them, but many are small (70% have revenue below $10 million), or they say they are making boards even if they rent out their facility as an auto repair shop.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/28/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Yesterday was the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. The traditional meal is, of course, roast turkey with “all the trimmings.” Although not everyone observes that menu, most do, and it was reported that 42 million turkeys were consumed on that day. With an average weight of 16 pounds per turkey, we cooked up 672 million pounds! With approximately 342 million people in the U.S, that pencils out to just under two pounds of drumstick and white meat per person. That, my friends, is a whole lot of leftovers.
