Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
A $15 million accelerated investment plan to upgrade manufacturing infrastructure, acquire advanced equipment (including new coating lines), and expand facility space in Petach Tikva to transition from a legacy player to a high-growth manufacturer.
Expected impact: Aims to increase annual revenue capacity to $55–$65 million and achieve normalized gross margins of 26%–28% by supporting high-complexity products like HDI and rigid-flex boards.
Strategic focus on expanding high value-added presence in the U.S. defense sector by leveraging ITAR compliance, AS-9100, and NADCAP electronics certifications to secure long-term, high-budget military contracts.
Expected impact: Secured a major $12.2 million contract with an American defense customer, enhancing medium-term revenue visibility and shifting product mix toward higher-margin applications.
Implementing price adjustments, allocation quotas, and cost-control measures to mitigate severe foreign exchange headwinds (USD depreciation against the ILS) and rising raw material costs.
Expected impact: Aims to narrow the near-term earnings gap, protect operating margins, and secure supply chain continuity during regional security and logistical disruptions.
