Net sales in the third quarter increased 22.1% to $2,512,000 from $2,057,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, net sales increased 11.8% to $6,973,000 from $6,239,000 in the comparable prior-year period.  Furthermore, gross margin for the 2024 third quarter was 50.4%, up from 48.6% in the corresponding quarter in 2023.

“Sales during the third quarter increased for both our wired sensor products and our wireless HazardPRO™ products, largely driven by industrial automation and agricultural applications,” said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors’ president. “Furthermore, gross margin improved over the prior-year period as our supply chain continued to stabilize, and we benefited primarily from price adjustments implemented earlier in the year.”
