By Julie Wernau | Sales soared in the
first quarter for Chicago-based Littelfuse, and the company said it is
making good progress toward climbing back to its revenue levels from before the
downturn. Littelfuse manufactures circuit protection components for products that use electrical energy, including automobiles,
computers and handheld devices. The company said it is benefiting from a steady
recovery in those markets.
Sales for the first quarter of 2010
were $144.4 million, a 71 percent increase over the first quarter of
2009 and a 13 percent increase over the previous quarter. The company
saw higher-than-expected operating expenses as higher consumer demand
increased freight costs, Littelfuse said.
