Swiss StarragHeckert almost doubles net profit in Q1 2011


ADP Switzerland News: 06 May 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

(ADPnews) - May 6, 2011 - Swiss machine tool maker StarragHeckert (SWF:STGN) said today its net profit grew to CHF 2.9 million (USD 3.3m/EUR 2.3m) in the first quarter of 2011, from CHF 1.5 million in the prior-year period.

The earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) doubled to CHF 4.3 million from CHF 2.1 million.

Revenue also nearly doubled to CHF 83.8 million from CHF 48.7 million.

Order intake surged to CHF 72.3 million from CHF 33.6 million in the first three months of 2010. Order backlog amounted to CHF 243 million against CHF 108 million a year earlier.

For the full 2011 the company expects to register a year-on-year increase in order intake. Revenue, however, should be below the 2010 level.

BAE Systems Scoops Manufacturing Industry Award

Aerospace and Defense Companies


Journal of Engineering: 30 March 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Samlesbury, United Kingdom - BAE Systems has scooped the award for Best Supplier Partnership at the Manufacturing Industry Awards held earlier this month.

The awards, hosted by the Manufacturing Technologies Association seek to recognise the success and significance of engineering based manufacturing in the UK. BAE Systems, in partnership with StarragHeckert, Fastems, TDM Systems and Nederman won the award in the Best Supplier Partnership category for delivering a highly flexible manufacturing system on the F-35 Lightning II programme.

The award recognises the success of a partnered approach in delivering a flexible system to support the manufacture of complex titanium parts for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft. The new state of the art machining facility based at BAE Systems Samlesbury is home to the world class, lean, fully integrated manufacturing system that maximises operator and machine efficiency.

Simon Bee, Head of Machining F-35, was part of the team who collected the award on the night. "To be a truly flexible system all aspects of the machining facility have to interact seamlessly which added an extra layer of complexity to the task. Add to that, the team behind the solution came from five different companies from across the globe. We had to ensure we worked side-by-side, day-by-day on the solution. High levels of communication and a trusting relationship across the team were key to delivering this project, without it we stood little chance of getting it right with the full manufacturing system.."

Chris Allam, Senior Vice President, F-35 commented: "BAE Systems' expertise and innovation in manufacturing is one reason why we are a partner on the F-35 programme and continuing to push the boundaries and invest where appropriate is key to our future strategy. This enables us to retain vital manufacturing capabilities in the North West. The machining facility is a key investment and helps maintain BAE Systems and the UK at the forefront of advanced manufacturing."

The flexible management system will help ensure BAE Systems ramps up production to achieve the challenging rate of producing one F-35 aircraft set every day, whilst maintaining the exacting quality targets required on the programme.

About BAE Systems involvement in the F-35 Lightning II programme

BAE Systems is responsible for the design and delivery of the aft fuselage and empennage (tails and fins) for each F-35 variant, as well as key areas of the vehicle and weapon systems, in particular the fuel system, crew escape, life support system and prognostics health management integration. The Company also has significant work share in autonomic logistics, primarily on the support system side, and is involved in the Integrated Test Force, including the systems flight test and mission systems.

The F-35 Lightning II programme is the world's largest defence programme, with current stated requirements from initial customers for approximately 3,000 aircraft Related LinksSource

Swiss StarragHeckert�s net profit down 29.6% Y/Y in 2010


ADP Switzerland News: 04 March 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

(ADPnews) - Mar 1, 2011 - Swiss machine tool maker StarragHeckert (SWF:STGN) reported today a net profit of CHF 8.1 million (USD 8.7m/EUR 6.2m) for 2010, down by 29.6% in a yearly comparison.

According to it, the board of directors proposed a dividend of CHF 10 per share after CHF 15 per share for 2009. It will be paid in the form of a withholding tax fee par value repayment from reserves on capital investments.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) declined by 34.4% to CHF 10.1 million. This corresponds to an EBIT margin of 5.1% after 6.1% a year earlier.

The reported figures exceeded the prognoses of Swiss bank Vontobel for net profit of CHF 5.9 million and EBIT of CHF 8.4 million.

As announced in January 2011, the company�s revenue decreased by 21.1% to CHF 199.2 million. Order intake rose by 0.3% to CHF 188.3 million. Order backlog went down by 16.4% to CHF 103.9 million.

For 2011 StarragHeckert expects a further recovery of the global machine tool market. It is, however, not likely that the high growth rates from before the economic crisis will be reached. Possible risks in 2011 include distortions of exchange rates and an increasing protectionism in selected sales markets.

(CHF 1.0 = USD 1.073/EUR 0.768)

 

Swiss StarragHeckert revenue falls to CHF 199.2m in 2010


ADP Switzerland News: 26 January 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

(ADPnews) - Jan 26, 2011 - Swiss machine tool maker StarragHeckert (SWF:STGN) said today its revenue declined to CHF 199.2 million (USD 211m/EUR 154m) in 2010 from CHF 252.5 million in 2009.

Order intake improved by 0.3% to CHF 188.3 million.

Order backlog as of the end of 2010 amounted to CHF 103.9 million, down from CHF 124.3 million as of the end of 2009.

The company said that in 2010 it invested specifically in product development and in expansion of its sales and customer service units.

In 2011, StarragHeckert expects increased business volumes. The company's revenue is forecast to almost double as a result of the acquisition of German peer Doerries Scharmann Technologie GmbH announced last week.

StarragHeckert said it will publish its detailed 2010 results on March 4, 2011.
