• Margin Expansion: Targeting improved EBITDA margins via increased capital investment and automation.
• India Manufacturing: Transitioning select component manufacturing back to India, following the existing Sigma model, to drive cost optimization and competitiveness.
• Revenue Growth: Achieving growth by expanding long-term agreements and deepening penetration with major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The experienced management team of Bromford will continue leading daily operations, working alongside the broader Sigma leadership.
