[Nanchang  and Stockholm, 23 September 2013] - Jiangling Motors Corporation, Ltd
(JMC),  China's leading producer of diesel  engined vans, light busses and light
duty  trucks, has  entered into  a technology  supply agreement with the Swedish
process  control specialist SinterCast for Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) product
development.   Under the terms of the  agreement, a SinterCast Mini-System 3000
will  be installed  at the  JMC foundry  located in  Nanchang, China.  The Mini-
System 3000, which is planned to be shipped during September and commissioned in
October,  will enable  JMC to  independently develop  high quality  CGI cylinder
blocks  and heads for its own diesel engines and for engines produced as part of
its joint venture with Ford Motor Company.

"This  order marks our sixth installation  in China, broadening our presence and
our  brand awareness in  the world's largest  commercial vehicle market.  We are
pleased that our longstanding support of CGI development in China, combined with
our  commitment  to  local  commercial  and  technical support, has led to JMC's
decision  to adopt  our technology"  said Dr  Steve Dawson,  President &  CEO of
SinterCast.   "The JMC Mini-System 3000 is our fourth installation commitment of
2013 and,  together  with  other  ongoing  installation discussions, provides an
opportunity  for  a  third  consecutive  year  of  strong  installation  growth,
following record installation performance in 2011 and 2012."
