In addition, the Jyco acquisition, which was completed in July, 2013, provided US$45.2m of incremental sales. Full year sales were partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange and customer price concessions.

For the full year 2014, the company generated a gross profit of US$509m, representing 15.7% of sales, compared to US$472.7m in 2013, or 15.3% of sales.
The increase was driven by the favourable impact of continuous improvement, material cost savings and increased production volumes in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
