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 com -pared with the third quarter 2015. Mycronic has received orders for nine mask writers thus far in 2016. The newly launched the Prexision-800, which ensures effective production of the most complex photomasks for the smart 4K phones and advanced AMOLED displays of the future. The replacement offering provides customers with a solution to secure long-term high productivity in photomask manufacturing. 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. Mycronic is continuing to execute the growth strategy at a high pace, while at the same time delivering good results.
