"A fifth of the new stock was reserved for future key members of the staff, and the rest was subscribed to by current employees and members of the Board of Directors," says Mr. Kustaa Poutiainen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Picosun.
"So far, effects of the global economic crisis have not been felt at Picosun. We currently have a full dozen ALD reactors on our assembly line, and interest from both production and research clients world-wide has, if anything, increased," Poutiainen explains.
According to Mr. Poutiainen, the current stock award plan follows an internal corporate timeline which, in five years time, leads to an Initial Public Offering (IPO). "Next on the agenda is a venture capital investment aimed at fuelling our strong growth," he says.
