Eltek Ltd. announced that it has secured purchase orders totaling approximately $5.3 million from an international customer, with deliveries scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and the final shipment expected in September 2027. The order is positioned as a key win that underpins the company’s strategy to expand its presence in high‑value‑added product markets abroad.
The new order comes at a time when Eltek’s backlog has roughly doubled from year‑end 2025, providing a stronger revenue pipeline. In the most recent earnings report, the company posted full‑year 2025 revenue of $51.8 million, up 11 % from $46.5 million in 2024, while net income fell to $0.8 million from $4.2 million the prior year. The $5.3 million order therefore represents a sizable addition to the company’s projected top line for the coming year.
Eltek cautions that its operating results for the first quarter of 2026 may be negatively impacted by less favorable backlog fulfillment and unexpected logistic issues. The company is also navigating operational challenges stemming from the integration of new plating lines, relocation of production systems, and machinery upgrades, which have contributed to margin compression. A weaker U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel has added an estimated $2.2 million adverse impact on operating results, further weighing on profitability.
The order is expected to feed Eltek’s defense, aerospace, and medical segments, all of which focus on high‑quality printed circuit boards for mission‑critical applications. While the fact‑check report does not disclose the exact product mix, the company’s strategic emphasis on high‑value‑added products suggests that the order will reinforce its core capabilities in these sectors.
CEO Eli Yaffe said, “We are pleased with this award, which supports our strategic objective of expanding our presence in international markets with high value‑added products. It also reflects a growing focus in the market on securing medium‑term supply.” Yaffe added that the company is actively addressing the short‑term headwinds and expects a gradual normalization of deliveries over time.
The order provides medium‑term revenue visibility and strengthens Eltek’s backlog, but the company must continue to manage operational disruptions and currency headwinds to protect margins. The combination of a sizable new order, a growing backlog, and ongoing investment in production capabilities positions Eltek to capture additional market share in its high‑margin segments while navigating the current cost and supply‑chain challenges.
