Net sales in the third quarter increased 13.4% to $2,154,000 from $1,899,000 in the prior-year quarter.  For the first nine months of 2021, net sales increased 10.2% to $6,517,000 from $5,914,000 in the similar prior year period.  Furthermore, gross margin for the quarter was 55.9%, up from 52.2% in the corresponding quarter in 2020, driven by improved factory utilization resulting from higher levels of manufacturing and sales.

"We are pleased to announce our largest third quarter revenue in the Company's history," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president. "The increase during the quarter was largely driven by increased sales to customers in the agricultural industry."
