To all employees and shareholders:
New orders in Q3 exceeded our forecasts and taxed our capacity in our Guelph factory.
Operating earnings reflect the costs of responding to this surge in backlog level with increased staffing and capacity. Moreover, production was disrupted by a very hot July and August that resulted in lower outputs.
Our focus for Q4/11 is on the recovery of our service levels at normalized productivity levels.
Hammond Manufacturing Company Limited manufactures a broad range of products for the electronic and electrical products industry, including metallic and non-metallic enclosures, racks, small cases, outlet strips, surge suppressors and electronic transformers.
