Richard Horowitz, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and President commented, "2022 was a year of transition for P&F. After nearly two years operating under COVID-19 restrictions and conditions, as 2022 progressed, we began to see business begin to show signs of improvement. The transition also was driven by the acquisition of the Jackson Gear Company business in January 2022, which was the primary reason for the revenue growth of just shy of
Regarding PTG, the acquisition of the Jackson Gear specialty gear business allowed us to penetrate markets we previously were unable to reach and enhanced our position in other markets where we had a modest presence. The integration of this business took longer than expected, but as we enter 2023, PTG is poised for growth as its new order levels continue to increase, has a more modernized facility, and a more established customer base.
As we set our sights on the future, I want to point out that during 2022, our consolidated spending on capital equipment was

Florida Pneumatic's Aerospace revenue generates stronger margins than its other product lines. Aerospace revenue increased as a percentage of Florida Pneumatic's revenue, which in turn was a major factor in the improved gross margin. The vast majority of Florida Pneumatic's Aerospace revenue is generated through the sale of the JIFFY product line. Additionally, other factors that contributed to Florida Pneumatic's 300 basis point improvement were, its ability during fiscal 2022 to pass through some of the increases it incurred in ocean and domestic freight costs, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates, mostly related to the Taiwanese dollar. It should be noted that Florida Pneumatic's ocean freight costs, particularly during the second half of 2021 through mid-2022 increased approximately five-fold, when compared to pre-pandemic rates. Our ocean freight costs have declined somewhat during the second half of 2022, but still remain above pre-pandemic levels. These improvements to gross margin were partially offset by increased warranty costs related to The Home Depot. Warranty costs lag in relation to shipments. As such, we believe these costs will decline over time.
Hy-Tech manufactures most of its products. Its gross margin is significantly affected by customer/product mix. Specifically, its largest OEM customers generates lower than average gross margin. We are continuing to increase prices and reduce manufacturing costs without jeopardizing the relationship with this major customer. Additionally, factors such as absorption of manufacturing overhead, raw material pricing, third-party costs, and the supply chain issues have affected its overall gross margin. Specifically, during 2022, Hy-Tech has encountered higher raw material, freight, and outside third-party vendor costs, all adversely affecting its gross margin in 2022. Further, during the latter portion of 2022 as Hy-Tech realigned its marketing and sales strategy, it determined that certain customers and products would no longer be serviced. As a result, Hy-Tech incurred an excess charge relating to obsolete, slow-moving inventory ("OSMI"). Further, Hy-Tech's total gross margin was impacted by weak overhead absorption at its Punxsutawney, PA. facility, due primarily to integration issues of the Jackson Gear Company acquisition that occurred during the first quarter of 2022. We believe these issues will be corrected by the end of the second quarter of 2023.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries, and related benefits, legal, accounting, and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead and certain engineering expenses.
