Compared with the same period of last year , INFICON increased sales markedly by 32.8 % . Excluding currency effects ( +1.8 percentage points ) and effects from acquisitions ( +0.3 percentage points ) , the organic plus was 30.7 % . Production runs at full capacity in practically all areas . At all major manufacturing sites , INFICON is continuing to invest into its production capabilities ( equipment , clean rooms , and calibration capacities ) , processes and personnel , in order to meet the rising demand better and without restrictions . In addition , certain bottlenecks in sourcing and in the logistics in Asia have limited an even more rapid growth and created additional cost . With a view to the well - filled order books , INFICON raises its sales guidance from previously USD 480 - 500 million to now USD 490 - 510 million . The expected operating income margin is 18 – 20 % . In the Semi & Vacuum Coating market ( USD 59.2 million ; + 39.6 % ) , the semiconductor business largely contributed to the strong sales development . The special challenges mentioned above , led , however , to a decline of 6.6 % compared with the previous quarter . Both the OEM business as well as the end consumer markets continue to flourish mainly in Asia and in China in particular . The vacuum coating business was flat on a solid level . Sales in the market for Refrigeration , Air Conditioning & Automotive ( USD 24.2 million ; + 27.4 % year - over - year ; -8.3 % over Q2 ) also picked up considerably in the year - over - year comparison . The refrigeration and air conditioning business developed nicely , while the automotive market suffered from material shortages and production stops at certain customers , which curtailed the demand for INFICON products . E - mobility continued to grow . In the General Vacuum market , INFICON achieved a record - high sales level of USD 33.5 INFICON Holding AG Hintergasse 15 B , CH - 7310 Bad Ragaz Tel . +41 81 300 4980 , Fax +41 81 3004988 www.inficon.com 1/4 14
