Positive message for electronics sector

congatec reported sales of €18.9million for the first six months of 2010 and this is encouraging news for the industry as a whole.

The company's ceo, Gerhard Edi cited confidence in the economy as the main driver for the 61.5% increase on 2009's figures. While many believe that sequential revenue shows a more accurate reflection of the electronics industry (after all, last year's figures were hardly a conventional barometer) it is still a positive message.
