IVISYS CEO Jakob Kesje’s comments
‘The first months of the year have passed and we now look back at an exciting time for IVISYS. IVISYS was listed on Nasdaq First North in Stockholm on 13 April 2015 after a very successful share issuance, which brought SEK 12.2 million to the Company, before issuance costs. As a result of the newly raised funds, we have been able to continue our efforts as planned – increasing the workforce as well as our sales and marketing efforts in order to increase our growth rate.
We started the year off with recruiting new staff by hiring David S. Joelsen as ‘Regional Sales Manager’. David has more than 15 years of experience in consulting and sales of technical products to industrial clients. In April, we expanded our workforce further by recruiting Anders Svensson as ‘Regional Sales Manager’ for Sweden and Germany. Anders has a background as industrial sales manager, which gives him great insight into the industry’s need of quality control. The sales team will be continuously expanded as competent candidates are identified.
During the first quarter, we also had the pleasure of welcoming a new customer, who has successfully implemented tests of IVISYS Pro V. After a test period, Shiloh in Olofström (formerly known as Finnveden Metal Structures) chose, initially, to purchase the test system for continuous quality control in their production. Shiloh is a global company, selling automotive components for nearly 7.3 bn. SEK annually with a number of factories worldwide.
During the period, we have participated in a number of the events in Denmark and Sweden as well as the Hannover Messe trade fair in Germany. It is a pleasure to meet potential customers and experience the interest, which exists among the audience. At the trade fair in Hannover, we had the pleasure of introducing our latest product, the IVISYS Advanced Conveyor Inspection Station. The product is a universal inspection station, which can be used for product verification, flaw detection and measurement applications. It consists of a programmable multi-zone scanning module and a conveyor belt, which is flexible with respect to running speed. In addition, our new system is adjustable regarding height above the ground, which means it is easily integrated into various working environments.
We are already experiencing great interest in our products and have a number of quotes out in the market, so we expect a continuous increase in revenues during the year with the aim of reaching the projected break-even in 2016.
We currently have a burn rate of approximately 600 000 SEK per month; however, the rate will increase as the right candidates are found and the number of employees increases accordingly during the year. Our expectation is that the increased costs will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in revenue.
We leave a successful period behind and look forward to an ongoing exciting 2015 for IVISYS!’
