Net sales during 2022 increased 4.9% to $9,029,000 from $8,607,000 in the prior year.  Sales growth for the year was driven primarily by increased domestic sales for agricultural and industrial automation applications.

"We are pleased to report record annual revenue for 2022," said David L. Klenk, Electro-Sensors' president.  "Our growth was driven by increased sales of both our traditional wired sensor products and our HazardPROTM wireless monitoring systems."

Klenk continued, "While significant supply chain disruptions continued during the year, our team did an excellent job addressing these challenges to deliver strong results."
