Eltek Announces Revenue Update for 2020, Shortage of Pyralux AP
February 19, 2021 | EltekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Eltek Ltd., a global manufacturer and supplier of technologically advanced solutions in the field of printed circuit boards, provided an update regarding the Company's revenues in the year ended December 31, 2020 and the impact the worldwide shortage of Pyralux AP, a key material produced by DuPont that is used in the production of flexible and flex–rigid printed circuit boards.
Based on a preliminary and unaudited financial report, the Company expects to report revenues of approximately $36.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to revenues of $34.8 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2019, growth of 5.5% in revenues year over year, reflecting the Company's continued ability to operate successfully during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 financial information is unaudited and subject to audit changes.
As previously announced, during December 2020 we successfully completed a rights offering to our shareholders providing gross proceeds of $5.7 million to the Company. The proceeds from the offering reduced our indebtedness to Nistec, our controlling shareholder, and improved the Company's balance sheet and its financial ratios.
The Company also indicated that its operations in the first quarter of 2021 will likely be negatively impacted as a result of the worldwide shortage of Pyralux AP, a laminate produced by DuPont that is used in the production of flexible and flex–rigid printed circuit boards. The Company is presently introducing an alternative raw material for its production of PCBs to its customers. While revenues are likely to be impacted in the first quarter, the Company expects that revenues will rebound during following quarters and lost sales will be recovered upon the expected availability of Pyralux AP and authorization of alternative raw material by Eltek's customers.

Designers Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 1
01/25/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe designer needs to have a working understanding of two key manufacturing operations: basic circuit board fabrication procedures and assembly process practices. For printed circuit board manufacturing, the number of steps required to produce the printed circuit board correlates to the circuit board's complexity. Greater process complexity in fabricating the circuit board equates to increased costs. To develop any portion of the electronic product, the designer must apply the design for manufacturing (DFM) principles established in the industry. In fact, DFM should always be the goal of the design engineer. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines that must be considered during the planning phase of any product.
