'Our 21% sales growth is indicative of the continued strong customer
requirements for the engine components we manufacture,' said Kreisler CEO
Stern added, 'Our net income growth of 69% reflects efficiencies achieved from higher production rates. We have also benefited from lower growth in certain costs such as purchased materials as well as lower costs attributable to detail components purchased by Kreisler Industrial from Kreisler Polska. By the end of fiscal 2007 we implemented production cells for most of our U.S. manufacturing operations which we believe will streamline our processes. During fiscal 2008 our operational focus is to improve our manufacturing operations resulting in higher quality and on-time delivery.'
