“2016 was a transformative year for FARO. We undertook a major reorganization that aligned and harmonized our resources by global vertical market segments, and modernized the efficiency of our sales processes and other functional areas. We accelerated and streamlined R&D to attain a sustained drumbeat of new and enhanced product introductions, and increased acquisition activity to further build out our product lines and technological capabilities. We expect to complete the remaining primary reorganization initiatives by mid-2017,” stated Dr. Simon Raab, president and chief executive officer. “In light of the substantial reorganizational disruption, FARO was able to increase sales, gross margin, and operating income, as well as generate cash flow from operations sufficient to self-fund $27.7 million of acquisitions.”

Dr. Raab further stated, “In the fourth quarter, we introduced our next generation Focuss Laser Scanner, acquired MWF-Technology GmbH to provide our broad customer base with an innovative product offering in augmented reality technology, and invested in customer facing staffing to drive higher sales in the upcoming year.”
