SKF releases the key figures reflecting the new organizational structure
As of 1 January 2012 SKF has formed the following three new business areas to address the market, and which replace the former divisions (release 17 January 2012).
SKF Industrial Market, Strategic Industries consists of seven business units with full responsibility for sales to both OEM and end users, as well as business development, manufacturing, and engineering. The business units are: Aerospace, Renewable Energy, Industrial Drives (comprising the Industrial Electrical, Fluid, Transmission and Material Handling segments), Off-highway, Traditional Energy, Precision (comprising the Machine Tool, Medical & Automation segments), and Railways. In addition, the SKF Lubrication business unit is part of this business area.
SKF Industrial Market, Regional Sales and Service is responsible for sales to both OEM and end-users, as well as business development and engineering for the Metals, Pulp and Paper, Mining and Cement, Food and Beverage, and Marine segments. It will also focus on developing advanced services and solutions that improve customer productivity, as well as on developing the SKF sales channels with primary responsibility for SKF distributors and channel partners.
SKF Automotive is supporting the Cars and light trucks, Trucks, Vehicle service market, Two-wheelers and Electrical markets. It is also responsible for SKF Sealing Solutions.
The previously published figures for the divisions for 2010 and 2011 have now been restated to reflect this new operational structure. New intra-Group pricing principles have also been introduced from 1 January 2012, which change the profit split between the manufacturing and sales units. To enable comparison the new pricing principles have been applied also in the restated figures for 2010 and 2011. As usual the operating margin is calculated on total sales including intra-Group sales. The increase in intra-Group sales compared to earlier published figures is a result of the new structure.
