San Bruno, CA – Worldwide Manufacturing USA Inc. announced record revenues for the third quarter of nearly $3 million, up 5.8% year-over-year.

This increase was the result of an increase in orders, the company said.

Revenues year-to-date were $8.45 million, up approximately 5% compared to the first nine months of last year.

Net income before tax for the third quarter was $137,553, a decrease of approximately 69%, the engineering firm and contract manufacturer said.

This was the result of an increase in public cost, as well as expenses associated with finding potential acquisitions for the company, Worldwide Manufacturing reported.

Year-to-date net profit before tax was $480,994, a decrease of approximately 15.7%.

Jimmy Wang, CEO of Worldwide, stated, "We continue to focus on acquisition targets as well as internal growth. The trend of record revenues continues."

PHOENIX – EMS provider Suntron Corp. reported net sales of $52.5 million and a net loss of $400,000 for the third quarter of 2007.

Gross profit for the third quarter was $4 million, flat with the same period last year, and down 32% sequentially.

SIOUX FALLS, SD – Raven Industries Inc. reported record sales and earnings for its third quarter. Continued strong demand in the flow controls division drove an 8% increase in sales, to $61.8 million, the company said.

Third-quarter net income was $7.4 million, up 6% year-over-year.

Year-to-date, sales rose $175.6 million, up 6% compared to the same period last year.

Year-to-date net income was $21.8 million, an 11% increase year-over-year.

"The flow controls division capitalized on a strong agricultural market, with good acceptance of new products and solid demand across the entire product line. The electronic systems division and Aerostar also reported double-digit increases in revenues and operating income. These advances more than offset declines in the engineered films division, which were caused primarily by increased price competition in its markets and the lack of disaster film sales," said CEO Ronald M. Moquist.
