“We have made good progress in our strategy; gaining market share, introducing new products into close-adjacent markets and taking advantage of long-term growth opportunities in additive manufacturing, shop-floor measurement, materials research and semiconductor manufacturing.

“We continue to invest in our people, product development and infrastructure to deliver sustainable, long-term growth.”
