Our sales achieved for the quarter are 17% higher than that of the corresponding Q1 2022. Despite the complex macroeconomic environment and shrinking margins, we are poised to leverage growth opportunities in our key markets. These impressive results are due to our strong focus on growth strategy.

Our strong order backlog with new upcoming orders gives a flying start and confidence for fiscal 2023.”
