In addition to new terminals, NCR delivered a record number of upgrades and kits both in volume and value. "Our 1998 results solidified our position as the world's leading supplier of ATMs for the 12th consecutive year," said Per-Olof Loof, senior vice president of NCR's Financial Solutions Group. "Our strong global performance is the result of our unique global distribution and superior solution offerings." In the United States, ATM shipments were at record levels with double- digit growth.
