This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20200803005830/en/
“JDE Peet’s delivered strong performance in the first half of 2020, demonstrating the resilience of our business and brands despite the unprecedented economic and social disruption of COVID-19. Our balanced coffee and tea portfolio allowed us to quickly adapt to rapidly changing consumer habits, following the dynamic shift of cups from the away-from-home to the in-home environment. Early in the crisis, our team took proactive steps to ensure the health and safety of employees worldwide, and protect our business operations, enabling us to continue serving customers and consumers without supply disruption. Despite a volatile environment, we delivered very strong adjusted EBIT growth, reflecting our pure-play focus as well as a disciplined approach to cost management. In addition, we are well on track to meet our deleveraging goal. Starting in June, we’ve seen a good recovery in our away-from-home businesses as local markets begin to recover from lockdowns. Given our strong portfolio of products and channels, we are uniquely positioned to continue to gain market share as we pivot to meet the needs and opportunities of our customers and consumers around the world.”

In the first half of 2020, JDE Peet’s was affected by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to unprecedented circumstances for our company, employees, customers and suppliers. Throughout the crisis, our primary focus remained the same: the assurance of employees’ health and safety and maintaining business continuity. Our company and the wider coffee and tea category continued to show strong resilience during the height of the COVID-19 crisis, despite global economic uncertainty. Our global manufacturing and supply network, combined with a large portfolio of trusted brands and our strong, diversified go-to-market approach, means we are well-placed to withstand future economic uncertainties.
- Record in-home (CPG) sales growth driven by developed markets
- CPG performance largely offsets away-from-home

CROCUS TECHNOLOGY UNVEILS HIGH LINEARITY, HIGH RESOLUTION, INTEGRATED XTREMESENSE™ TMR CURRENT SENSOR
The CT110 a plug-and-play device for current monitoring applications requiring high linearity, high resolution, miniature form-factor, isolation, and design simplicity
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug 3 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Crocus Technology Inc., the leading supplier of disruptive Tunnel Magneto-Resistance XtremeSense™ TMR sensors, today announces the CT110, a high resolution, isolated, contact current sensor based on Crocus’ patented and unique TMR technology. The CT110 provides highly accurate current measurements over a wide operating temperature range in a miniature form-factor. The CT110 offers design simplicity, reduced circuit complexity, and inherent isolation.
The CT110 is a coreless device which utilizes Crocus’s state-of-the-art XtremeSense TMR 1D technology to accurately detect the smallest variation in AC or DC current while achieving a class-leading less than 0.5% typical total output error. Crocus offers the CT110 in configurations which support 5 A to 15 A with the ability to detect less than 5 mA variations in current due to its low-noise and high sensitivity capabilities compared to traditional Hall sensor technologies, which require flux guiding, significant signal amplification, and temperature compensation. The CT110 is a ratio-metric device with an analog output capable of operating from 2.7 V to 5.5 V at 200 kHz sampling frequency and low power consumption.
