Canadian distributor Wajax Corp. (TRX: WJX), reported sales for the first quarter ended March 31 of $342.7 million, a 7.3 percent increase year-over-year. Profit increased 57.1 percent to $9.9 million.
“In 2018, Wajax expects year-over-year adjusted net earnings to increase, due primarily to organic revenue growth," said Mark Foote, CEO and president of Wajax.
