'Our customers were right to rely on our products and our supply capability in 2010. Together with our customers we benefited from a strong economic upswing and a high demand for electronic solutions,' says Dr. Anton Mindl, CEO of ELMOS Semiconductor AG. 'Despite the strong business growth, we also managed to implement important strategic measures in the past year. Among those are the expansion of our commitment in Asia and the sale of the special packaging business.'
'With globally unique products such as a semiconductor for partial network operation in the automobile and a special IO-Link component for industrial networks, we have purposefully strengthened our product lines as well. In 2011 we will aim at expanding our research and development effort and thus our future product portfolio once more', Mindl comments.
A guidance for the full year 2011 will be presented together with the release of the consolidated financial statements 2010 on March 16, 2011 (after trading hours).
