Aug 21 (Reuters) - Dispensing equipment maker Nordson

Corp ( NDSN ) beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter

profit on Wednesday, on strong sales in its industrial business.

Nordson ( NDSN ) benefited from increased sales of the company's

tools used for dispensing adhesives, coatings and sealants used

in construction and food packaging.

The company reported quarterly adjusted profit of $2.41 per

share, above analysts' expectation of $2.33 per share, according

to LSEG data.

Nordson's ( NDSN ) largest segment, industrial precision solutions,

posted a 10% yearly increase in quarterly sales offsetting the

decrease in sales in its medical and advanced technology segment

by 2% and 11%, respectively, during the quarter.

Total sales for the quarter, ended July 31, were $661.6

million, beating LSEG estimate of $656.2 million.

The Ohio-based company now expects its full year adjusted

earnings to range between $9.45 and $9.65 per share, compared

with the prior range of $9.35 to $9.75 per share.
