Grant Bennett, president, said, "As a producer of thermal management components for high-density electronics, our revenues depend on both the number of design wins we achieve and the strength of the sales of our customers' systems which incorporate our components. The 108% increase in year-to-year revenue represents both new design wins, particularly in the flip-chip packaging segment, and a firming up of demand for existing part numbers, particularly in the cellular base station market segment."
