Scanfil ends with a strong quarter

Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil plc: “The year 2013 was good for Scanfil despite the fact that the overall demand situation on many markets remained difficult. Scanfil's turnover increased in 2013 and the company was also able to improve its profitability. Global megatrends had a positive impact on the performance of many professional electronics customers and thus also on Scanfil's business. Demand for professional electronics products increased from the year 2012 and it accounted for about 82% of Scanfil's turnover in 2013.” January – December
