We typically watch the trends of IC units as a leading indicator of our electronics business. The latter data is showing modest IC unit growth in 2013. Beyond that, we look to new product introduction and growth in emerging markets to grow share. 2013 is positioning to be an exciting year for us as we are poised for several new product introductions.
The latter product additions will be in hand soldering as well as our convection business. We look forward to reach even greater heights with our new advanced package rework unit called Scorpion. Since the introduction of the Scorpion earlier in 2012, we have truly caught the attention of leading EMS providers.
The Scorpion has been able to handle all the component rework demands that their leading edge smartphones and tablets demand. Based on the backlog of Scorpion orders, we feel we have really created the ideal value proposition for the customer.
At the root of all we do is our team. We have made several additions to our staff, including strengthening our operations team to ensure the time to market demand of our customers is exceeded. We look forward to 2013 and taking the next steps forward with our customers.
