“Our revenue for the first half was EUR 264 million, which represents an increase of around 11% in comparison with our pro forma turnover of the previous year," Petteri Jokitalo, CEO of Scanfil said. "I am satisfied with the development of sales. It proves that our customers have given their support and faith to the acquisition and new Scanfil. Our most important task is to continuously develop our operations and competitiveness. An example of this is our decision to double the capacity of the Sieraz electronics plant in Poland. We aim to be the preferred contract manufacturing partner for our customers."

Scanfil shut its operations in Norway in June and in the UK in July, and divested its PartnerTech Aerodyn and PartnerTech Karlskoga operations. It also is closing a plant in Dongguan, acquired in the PartnerTech deal. The operating loss of those in 2015 amounted to approximately EUR 8.3 million.
