"I was pleased to see higher sales and revenue numbers in the quarter as we continue to steadily progress toward our goal of achieving cash-flow positive operations in 2017," said Major General Duncan Heinz (USMC, Ret.), IBC's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Trends across both business segments are increasingly positive. Demand continues to grow for our innovative Beralcast® products made by our Engineered Materials division, as evidenced by the double-digit increase in parts called for in the new Lockheed Martin contract, as well as in the sharply higher orders we are receiving from the semiconductor manufacturing industry. In our Copper Alloys division, our plastic mold tooling business is showing consistent growth, and we are pleased to see an uptick in orders from the oil and gas industry."
The General added: "We also are pleased to be approaching the final stages of completing our capital improvements program, which is designed to help us improve yields, boost capacities, lower costs, and open up new sales opportunities."
