    production

[Stockholm,  22 November  2013] -  Buoyed  by  increased  diesel demand in North
America,  increased commercial vehicle production  in Europe, and continued pre-
production  of the  first-ever CGI  petrol engine,  annualised series production
reached  a new all-time high of  1.8 million Engine Equivalents in October.  The
current series production represents a year-on-year 50% increase compared to the
annualised volume of 1.2 million Engine Equivalents during the fourth quarter of
2012, and  a 38% increase  compared to  the first  quarter of 2013.  Many of the
current  series production programmes are still in the ramp up phase and provide
the  potential to exceed two million  Engine Equivalents when mature volumes are
reached.   Further growth will  be realised as  new series production programmes
are  formally launched, including the high volume petrol engine that is expected
to provide a mature volume of more than 350,000 Engine Equivalents.

"Beyond  our  previously  announced  record  of  1.65 million Engine Equivalents
achieved  during the second quarter, October's production provides another clear
step  toward the two million Engine  Equivalent milestone" said Dr Steve Dawson,
President  &  CEO  of  SinterCast.   "With  record  series production and record
installation  revenue  already  secured,  we  have established a strong starting
point for 2014 and still have time to add to the records before year-end."
