Sales were $512 million, up nine percent compared to the prior-year period. Strong demand continued across the company’s core, global end markets, despite global logistics challenges limiting the company’s ability to meet all customer demand. Enhanced pricing across all segments and the addition of the Schülke & Mayr acquisition were strong contributors to the year-over-year sales growth. Approximately $20 million of confirmed orders were delayed from late December into January because of logistics challenges. Foreign currency negatively impacted sales by one percent.
