As the company has a large customer base, along with a strong sales and supply chain network, the provision of innovative systems to the military and defense industry would result in increased revenue and a larger share of the global market. Moreover, it is focusing on achieving a 12%–14% of operating margin, a 90% operating cash conversion, and more than 90% on-time delivery performance.
