Terry Heilman, CEO, Sunstone Circuits

2014 was an excellent year for Electrolube with double-digit growth in sales. The hugely successful rebrand of the company opened new opportunities and markets for Electrolube in 2014 and one of our focus areas for 2015 is the LED industry.

Electrolube has developed new products specifically for the LED market, which include the aromatic-free acrylic conformal coating, AFA, two new protective and decorative polyurethane resins, UR5635 and UR5634, and HTCX, Electrolube's non-silicone paste. HTCX has been re-classified for very high temperature applications up to +180degC following an extensive series of tests and we expect these products to be received very positively by the market.

In 2015 we will continue to invest heavily into advancing our technical resources further and delivering a strong performance across all the markets we serve. We continue to invest in expanding our European Sales Team and have recruited two new Technical Sales Engineers, Celine Virgo and Cedric Karrer, who will boost our resource in France and Germany respectively. In 2015 we plan to continue this strategy by recruiting another Sales Engineer to support our business in France.

These are dynamic times for Electrolube and we are continuing to evolve and make changes that enable us to bring solutions to the market faster. The year ahead is looking to be another excellent year with further double-digit growth expected and many new products will be launched, including a revolutionary new product, which we will announce in February at the Southern Manufacturing event.
