SURREY, UK - The weakening dollar has had a significant impact on TT Electronics’ profitability, the company says.
The EMS firm said its U.S. electronics component operations have suffered from reduced domestic demand because of overall market softness, while its EMS business has had a stronger second half and the outlook is good for next year.
TT Electronics says its sensor and systems business is seeing consistent demand from German automotive customers, although pricing pressure is impacting revenue. The manufacturer also expects revenue from climate control systems to decline substantially in 2008 as certain programs come to end-of-life.
The company expects similar results in 2008 as in 2007.

“Our results were negatively impacted by a delay in launching several new programs with various customers that will be additive to our existing business with them, as well as slowing sales to some of our customers. At this point we believe several of the new programs will start during the third quarter, with continuing production dependent on our customers sell-through of the new product,” president and CEO Gary R. Fairhead said.
FRANKFURT – Germany's electronics industry is expected to post a 3% rise in sales to 184 billion euros ($270 billion) this year, boosted by strong exports and robust domestic investment, industry association ZVEI says.
