Opcon’s Board sets goal for pace of sales turnover of SEK 2 billion by the end of 2012

The Board of Directors of Opcon AB, the energy and environmental technology Group, has set a new sales turnover goal for Opcon. This is an addition to the previously announced goal of sales turnover of SEK 1 billion by 2010, which the Board today considers will be met. The new sales turnover goal was established in connection with the decision to submit a public acquisition offer for Tricorona. The aim is to give the market an indication of Opcon’s progress in the longer term. The goal of reaching a pace in sales turnover of SEK 2 billion by the end of 2012 has been set without consideration for the anticipated sales increase Opcon would expect in the event of a merger with Tricorona. The background to the decision is Opcon’s increased sales, strong order book, rising energy prices and growing interest in Opcon’s technology with its new products and systems. The sales turnover goal is based on expectations of continued strong growth in bioenergy, but above all a considerable increase in sales of Opcon Powerbox.
