Of this 49% increase, revenues from existing businesses increased 18% and incremental revenues achieved by companies acquired in 2010 contributed 31% of the increase. Bookings for the first six months this year were $51,975,000 compared to $53,919,000 for the same six months last year.

“The record sales and profits achieved during the quarter were a result of the combined contribution of all of our operating units including our acquisitions in 2010,” commented Dick Warzala, President and CEO of Allied Motion. “The decrease in bookings in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year is primarily the result of the timing of order placement. It is important to note that the comparative decrease is not from the loss of any customers. The combination of our existing operations and acquisitions provides us with a solid foundation to grow organically and will be the primary focus within our company in the near future. Allied Systematic Tools (AST) will be utilized to improve efficiencies and eliminate waste throughout our company and our expanded electronic motion control products will allow us to increase the value of our sales through the solution selling activities of our sales force. With a focus on designing innovative “Motion Solutions That Change the Game” to meet the needs of our served markets and customers and with our ever increasing pipeline of new projects, we continue to have a positive outlook for our continued growth in the future.”
