Metal casing supplier Catcher Technology Co (可成科技) is optimistic that stronger demand for PC and mobile devices will boost sales this year.

The company yesterday reported that sales last month rose 14.3 percent month-on-month to NT$6.52 billion (US$223.68 million), representing 31 percent growth from the same period last year and setting a new record for March.

Aggregate sales in the first quarter totaled NT$20.41 billion, dipping 37.8 percent from the previous quarter, but still representing 40 percent year-on-year growth.

The first-quarter sales marked the company’s strongest showing yet in the January-to-March period and the first time that the figure exceeded NT$20 billion, Catcher said.
