Sono-Tek Corporation announced that it has received a $0.6 million order from a medical device manufacturer, the first part of an expected multi-phase program for additional machines. The $0.6 million multi-system order is from an existing customer that previously purchased several identical Sono-Tek machines to manufacture its products and is now continuing to ramp up capacity to meet growing customer demand. The innovative medical technology company worked with Sono-Tek's application engineers to perfect the coating process that applies proprietary thin films onto a critical drug delivery device.

Sono-Tek anticipates shipping the order in fiscal year that ends February 28, 2024. The order also demonstrates the abilities of application engineers to understand and integrate Sono-Tek's coating systems into a customer's complex manufacturing processes, be it medical technology, semiconductors or green energy, Sono-Tek's three target markets for growth. The order is the first part of an expected multi-phase program.

As it was received before the end of fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 (ended February 28th), the order was added to fiscal year-end backlog, which has grown significantly during the fiscal year and will be reported in mid-May.
