ELK GROVE VILLAGE -- SigmaTron reported net sales rose 22.8% to $46.8 million in the January period, citing a broad range of improving end-markets and its 2012 acquisition of Spitfire. The contract electronics assembler swung to a net loss of $216,776 for the three months ended Jan. 31, compared to net income of $85,656 in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit increased to $4.12 million, from $3.52 million a year ago. Year to date sales are up 25.8%. The EMS company said it expected demand to slow in the short-term but anticipates new programs will result in additional revenues during fiscal 2014.
