"In what is traditionally the weakest quarter of the year, AVT has delivered an outstanding result with record order bookings and increased profitability," said Shlomo Amir, AVT's President and CEO. "AVT continues its dominant position in the global packaging and labels web-printing markets. At Labelexpo Americas, in Chicago, AVT demonstrated its leadership with a stand demonstrating its complete product offering, as well as having a presence on the stands of eight other leading manufacturers of labels presses and rewinders," Shlomo Amir continued. Service revenues continue to grow as the installed base expands. Service revenues for the first nine months of 2006 totalled US$ 1.4 million, an increase of 53.7% over the first nine months of 2005 (US$ 942 thousand).
