Picosun
Oy, Finland-based global manufacturer of state-of-the-art Atomic Layer
Deposition (ALD) systems report new sales revenue records for its fiscal Q1 (May
to July). When compared to 2008, despite the crash of the global economy,
Picosun’s year-on-year sales for its fiscal Q1 rose by more than a third.
“This is very encouraging”, says Kustaa Poutiainen, Chief Executive Officer
of Picosun. “Our success in sales verifies the strength of our portfolio of
specialized ALD systems both for research and production use.”
Combined, Picosun people possess more than 200 years of first class ALD
experience making it the most experienced designer and manufacturer of ALD
equipment ever to exist.
“This unrivalled wealth of knowledge is the secret behind our ability to
build the most innovative and reliable line of ALD tools,” Poutiainen says.
“Customers interested in obtaining the best package are coming to us.”
Picosun has traditionally been very strong in Asia, especially Japan and
China. “We have further strengthened results in our traditional markets there,
and added Australasia as a new element of success into our list of
customers.”
“Another achievement, receiving a bunch of orders from Sweden in a period of
a few months only has been a specifically satisfying case for us. We have been
able to win that market with our combination of reasonable prices whilst meeting
one of the most rigorous and challenging set of quality and performance criteria
in the world,” explains Kustaa Poutiainen.
