HATTELAND DISPLAY REPORTS SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN MARINE COMPUTER SALES

Hatteland Display’s marine computer and panel computer business has experienced a record year of

sales in 2007. The company reports a 53% increase on the 2006 sales performance of its computers division having sold 2510 units up to mid November 2007. The company expects a year end figure of 3100 units, making for a total sales growth of approx. 89%.

In order to reduce lead-time and to ensure that future order levels can be met, Hatteland Display recently improved many of its manufacturing processes at its Nedre Vats, Norway, development and manufacturing plant. The company has since October doubled its marine computer capacity, reduced lead-times to 4-5 weeks for standard units and introduced new QA measures to ensure that high levels of quality are retained as production ramps up.
“We are delighted at the sales performance of our computers in 2007,” said Knut Vidar Lauritsen,
President, Hatteland Display. “We are renowned for supplying high quality marine displays to system
integrators and ship yards and are pleased with our performance in this sector for 2007. We continue
to development new rugged, high performance marine computers and these sales figures show that 
our investment is paying off.”

Hatteland Display now offers the largest portfolio of marine computers and panel computers, designed for a wide variety of applications for Naval, Commercial and Offshore vessels in addition to recreational boats. The company’s computer development resulted in the successful introduction of two new solid state, fan-less computers to the market in 2007. Next year promises further progress with increased power coming from Core2Duo processors in new 19” rack computers.

“Computers, whether sold as a display backpacks, panel, rack mount or black boxes are becoming more and more important to our business as customers demand further integrated, high quality solutions. This ensures that they are able to develop the best systems for their own customers so we have to be able to guarantee quality and delivery, hence our continued investment in this area,”  concludes Knut Vidar Lauritsen.
