However, in terms of order intake and sales, both business segments fulfilled expectations in the third quarter.

Overall, Mikron's order situation has developed well since the middle of the year. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Information and Explaination of the Issuer to this News: Brief profile of the Mikron Group The Mikron Group markets machining and automation solutions, enabling customers around the world to master their precision manufacturing processes.
