The fourth quarter of 2009 was very busy for Air-Vac. Although sales increased substantially from the first three quarters of 2009, the most noticable change was the significant increase in quotation activity for new equipment.

We expect many of our customers who have been in a capital equipment holding pattern for 18-24 months to release funding for new equipment in 2010.

During 2009, Air-Vac focused on several major product and process development programs. We developed high throughput automated rework capability on our Industry-leading ONYX 29 platform including process solutions for emerging technology such as POP and 01005.

We also commercialized the DRS27, which is a hybrid of our two most popular rework platforms of all time, the DRS25 and the ONYX 29. Our ONYX 500 line of machines for high precision micro-assembly began to successfully penetrate key target markets including MEMS, medical and semi-conductor.

In 2010 we will commercialize the PCBRM 100 which provides automated rework of advanced through hole components on large high-thermal mass assemblies. By focusing and investing in product/process development during periods of slow growth, Air-Vac positions itself for maximum growth by having new products ready at the very beginning of an economic upturn.
