Haldex AB presents strategy, financial targets, summary financial information and new company names ahead of proposed reorganization

Haldex today hosts a capital markets day and presents the new management teams, the strategic platforms, financial targets, summary financial information and new company names of the divisions Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) and Hydraulic Systems.

The Haldex Board of Directors has proposed a distribution of the Hydraulic Systems Division to shareholders so that Haldex’s two divisions will become independent, listed companies, conditional upon the approval at the AGM held on June 8, 2011. The listing process for the Hydraulics Systems division is proceeding according to plan and a listing prospectus is expected to be published on May 24. At the capital markets day the new companies will be presented in more detail.

“During the last years we have taken decisive actions to streamline and position the Group, and the individual divisions have now achieved such size, maturity and profitability that they will have better opportunities for further growth as separate listed entities. The result is two companies with strong balance sheets, well positioned for future profitable growth providing long-term shareholder value”, says Joakim Olsson, President and CEO of Haldex.

New names

CVS will continue to operate under the Haldex AB name and Hydraulics Systems will change name and operate under the name Concentric AB.
