Dan Palmer, President of Art’s Way Scientific said, “We are pleased by this uptick in business. The University of Illinois is a valued and repeat customer. These orders demonstrate the strength of our team and our unique capabilities within the Modular Animal Housing industry. These buildings fit our clients need’s perfectly because they create the ideal environment for swine, the research, and the people who work in them. Our ability to design, construct and install “ready to use” animal units in a short period of time, is a strong selling feature for us.”

J. Ward McConnell, Jr., Chairman of the Board, said, “We are beginning to see an increased interest for our modular buildings, particularly in the hog and dairy industries. As a result of these contracts and other bids in the pipeline, we are anticipating Art’s Way Scientific’s revenue, income, and gross margins to improve in the balance of fiscal 2014.”
