May 2, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
DuPont announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"Our results reflect continued strong quarterly financial performance with year-over-year organic sales growth and margin expansion in both the ElectronicsCo and IndustrialsCo segments," said Lori Koch, DuPont Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to benefit from ongoing strength in electronics markets as well as strong demand in healthcare and water end-markets. Through April, we continued to see strong order patterns consistent with our expectations."
"Our global manufacturing footprint and flexible supply chain network serves us well as we manage through the impact of tariffs," Koch continued. "Our teams are actively engaged with customers and suppliers as we work to further mitigate the impact."
"We remain on track for a November 1, 2025 spin-off of the Electronics business, which was announced this week as Qnity. We continue to achieve key milestones related to the separation, including executive leadership and Board appointments, as well as last week's filing of the initial Form 10 registration statement with the SEC," Koch concluded.

The Chemical Connection: Sales Organization from a Capital Equipment Perspective
07/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThe sales organization for a capital equipment supplier to the PCB industry tends to differ slightly from a supplier that manufactures and sells circuit boards to their customers. After all, our sales depend on the printed circuit board manufacturer’s sales. If business falls off, you tend to delay or reconsider the need for new or upgraded capital equipment, and then our sales fall off. If your sales go up and you need to increase capacity or replace old equipment, our sales also trend upwards.

It is the purest symbol of the machinations of the business process: You are paying me for something I am doing, making, or sourcing for you. Then, every single thing a business does in executing and fulfilling that sales agreement speaks directly to customer experience and whether more POs will follow.
