For a first year of recovery, acting in a very slow market, these financial data are very encouraging, and validate the new strategy of the company, focussed on high-end products and service quality.

Almost 20 units were sold during 2009, composed of full automatic panel machines (the Acura line), Reel to Reel and Semi-Automatic equipment. China has represented the main market, but machines were sold also in USA, Korea and India.

Altix had paid a particular attention to improve Service quality during the last 12 months and implemented new technological improvements for customer having already existing equipment.

For 2010, Altix intends to continue its re-development, expecting a growth of around 15 % in sales, and will intensify its R&D activities.
