In a call with analysts Wednesday morning, CEO Yuval Wasserman said the ongoing digitalization of the economy forced by the COVID-19 pandemic led to high demand for electronics.

“The strength in demand is fueled by multiple technology trends that… was accelerated adoption due to COVID-19,” he said.

However, Wasserman said the pandemic has created some raw-material bottlenecks that may weigh down future performance.

Advanced Energy was founded in Fort Collins and maintains a large research plant in the city’s northeast corner, but moved its administrative headquarters to Denver in March.
