“We are pleased with the strong results in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from both the diversified industrial and aerospace markets,” said Dr. Michael J.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $93.3 million, an increase of 13.3% from $82.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in net sales was mainly the result of an 11.9% increase in industrial sales driven by strong orders in construction and mining, semiconductor, and the general industrial markets and a 15.0% increase in aerospace and defense driven by commercial aircraft build rates and the aerospace aftermarket.  Gross margin for the first quarter was $31.8 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period last year. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 34.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 31.9% for the same period last year.
