  * SinterCast Mini-System 3000 to be shipped during fourth quarter of 2012
  * Ongoing  product development for  high performance cylinder  block, head and
    bedplate
  * Tenth  installation in the Asian market and further growth in the industrial
    power sector

[Stockholm,  18 October 2012] - Building on SinterCast's longstanding support of
Compacted  Graphite  Iron  (CGI)  product  development  in  the industrial power
sector,  an  undisclosed  Asian  OEM  has  ordered a Mini-System 3000 to support
ongoing  product development  in its  foundry.  At  the request  of the OEM, the
details  of the installation  and the engine  programme must remain confidential
until the planned series production launch, although SinterCast can confirm that
the cylinder block, the cylinder head and the bedplate are all under development
in   CGI.   The  Mini-System  3000 will  be  shipped  during  November  2012 and
commissioned during January 2013.

"This  agreement marks our  tenth installation in  Asia, broadening our presence
and brand awareness in the critical Asian market and providing new opportunities
to  increase our production of components  other than automotive cylinder blocks
and  heads" said Dr Steve  Dawson, President & CEO  of SinterCast.  "Despite the
current  economic climate, we  are experiencing a  clear increase in CGI product
development  and installation planning.  This increase  will allow us to deliver
on our commitment to secure three new installation commitments before the end of
2012 and  will also provide new installation opportunities during 2013.  We look
forward  to  supporting  the  CGI  product  development activities for this high
performance engine and increasing our presence in the industrial power sector."
