SinterCast to present positive market outlook at Annual General Meeting
Press Release
For Immediate Distribution
[Stockholm, 24 May 2012] - At the SinterCast AB (publ) Annual General Meeting
(AGM) to be held later today, SinterCast will present a positive market outlook,
with continued series production growth, and new opportunities for series
production commitments and new installations.
Specifically, the CEO presentation will note that, although the annualised
series production has stabilised since the fourth quarter of 2011, the
components that are currently in series production have a mature potential of
more than two million Engine Equivalents. Beyond the current series production,
further growth opportunities are expected with increased diesel penetration in
North America, new commercial vehicle engine commitments in Asia, the
application of CGI for the first high volume petrol engine, and continued demand
for new installations, particularly in Asia. Although no new installation
commitments have been secured prior to the AGM, the Company targets at least
three new installations before year-end. The Company will also take the
opportunity of the AGM to present the establishment of its new local companies
in China and Korea.
