Sono-Tek Corporation announces a recent order valued at $360,000, for a micronic thin film spray coating process to a major global food manufacturer with numerous plants based overseas.

The highly specialized application developed in this confidential project is a first of its kind, state-of-the-art technology, whose details are covered by an NDA with the customer. This customer has the potential of buying an additional system every 12-18 months as part of a planned multi-year roll out of the technology among all of its manufacturing sites.
