Växjö, Sweden, 13 April 2023 * * * JLT Mobile Computers, a leading supplier of rugged computers for demanding environments, publishes its 2022 annual report today.
Despite the significant impact of the global component shortage during the year, JLT has achieved another record-breaking year, thanks to proactive and persistent work to secure the supply of components, and impressive efforts by the employees. Turnover was MSEK 167 – which is a 23% increase on last year, and the highest figure in JLT’s history. As in the previous year, a very strong order backlog of MSEK 53 (54) follows into the new year.
“The global component shortage brought several challenges during the year. The highest priority throughout the crisis has always been to maintain the ability to deliver to our customers in the best possible way, and we believe this strategy has helped us to gain market share. Thanks to measures such as increasing component stocks and adapting product design, we have largely managed to keep our promises to customers and deliver with minimal delay,” comments Per Holmberg, CEO.
Other big events of the year include the launch of JLT Insights™: an innovative software program that boosts the efficiency of customers’ warehouse operations, and the acquisition of the sales partner ID Work and establishment of the wholly owned subsidiary JLT France to further develop the position on the important France market.
