CEO Andre Laramee said revenue was up in most of CVTech’s (TSX:CVT) business sectors during the quarter.

“Business related to electricity distribution networks was particularly strong, with numerous contracts in progress, some of them spreading over several years. This higher activity led to improved operating profitability,” he said in a release.

“Even more important, our solid business relationships with the main actors of our industry have brought us new contracts in sectors with high growth potential, such as renewable energy.”
