MINNEAPOLIS – Nortech Systems reported third quarter net sales of $30.1 million, an increase of 1.7% year-over-year.

Operating income for the third quarter was $713,000, growth of 10% year-over-year.  

As of Sept. 30, the firm’s backlog was $58.1 million, compared to $43.1 million on the same day in 2018.

“We are pleased with our third quarter improvements in margin and operating income,” said CEO and president Jay D.

We continue to expect to deliver on our backlog for the remainder of the year, which is among the highest Nortech backlog in 10 years.”
