As we approach the end of the year, it's the ideal time to reflect on what we've achieved, look towards our future goals, and say thank you to those who continue to support us.
2021 has been another challenging year, with the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic still casting its shadow around the world.
Despite these difficulties, we have maintained our performance, delivered on our key metrics, and steadfastly grown the business. We have welcomed more customers, added new staff members to key roles, and released upgrades and new product enhancements to our
SmartView® and
SmartAdvisor® systems.
In 2022, we plan to fully release our new suite of continuous inspection tools into the market, achieving a significant milestone and an important evolution of our systems. We also have some new and exciting agreements in place with key customers and are in the process of finalizing key strategic partnerships that you'll hear more about in the coming weeks, providing us with new growth opportunities in metals, plastics, and nonwovens industry segments.
