As of the end of the quarter, our cash and cash equivalents stood at $18.1 million, providing significant financial support for our growth strategy," said Eli Yaffe, CEO of Eltek.
"Throughout the quarter, we also advanced our accelerated investment plan. By year-end 2024, we plan to open a new 15,000 sq. ft. manufacturing space in our facility, which will include a state-of-the-art full Solder Mask Application line," Mr. Yaffe added.
"In response to continued demand for our products and our strong profitability, Eltek's Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy, effective from 2024 year-end onwards.
