Philip Deck, CEO of MKS, said: We believe that the continued strength of our business is based on our increasingly accepted position as the clear ALM technology choice for major enterprise customers. The technology leaders that have committed to MKS Integrity in recent years give us a solid base to continue to build our business. As well as demonstrating our ability to grow in this turbulent economic environment, this past quarter we started to enjoy the lower costs that the declining Canadian currency delivers.
