Update: $22m raised for production expansion

Thinfilm has raised $22m from US investors in a private placement priced at NOK5.01/share. The funds will be used for the expansion of production facilities following strong interest in the newly-launched NFC OpenSense platform. Management expects the resulting total capacity to be capable of generating $40m of revenues at 50% gross margin by the end of 2016. No volume orders have been announced for OpenSense yet, so the rate of production ramp-up is difficult to predict, but we expect the new capacity to become fully utilised over the next 12-18 months.
