GENERAL

 

Oerlikon Textile Far East Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oerlikon Textile GmbH & Co. KG [OTG] which is a Germany-based firm.  In turn, OTG is a subsidiary company of OC Oerlikon Corporation AG [OCOC], a Switzerland-based firm which is the holding company of the Oerlikon Group.

The subject is trading in all kinds of manmade fibre and other textile products.  It is part of OTG.  Commodities are sourced from Asian countries and re-exported to worldwide countries, especially Switzerland and other European countries.

At the beginning of 2007, the Swiss high-tech group OCOC acquired Saurer AG [Saurer].  The Oerlikon Group now consists of five segments, including the new business units from Saurer.  The Textile division of Saurer becomes the segment Oerlikon Textile, Barmag becomes Oerlikon Barmag and forms one of the five business units in the Textile segment.

Oerlikon Barmag is an established mechanical engineering company in the manmade fibre industry and can look back over decades of development and construction of highly productive and innovative spinning lines and texturing machines.

In addition to spinning and texturing systems, the core competencies include the manufacture of components for manmade fibre production such as extruders, winders, pumps and godets.  Oerlikon Barmag consistently extended its product range to polycondensation systems and components for chemical and industrial applications.

The Oerlikon Group is one of the innovative and research-intensive industrial groups in the world.  Six of the Group’s business units are active in machine and plant engineering: textile machines, thin-film coating, production plants for thin-film silicon solar modules, vacuum systems, drive systems and advanced technology.  In 2009, more than 16,000 employees at 157 sites in 36 countries generated sales of CHF 2.8 billion.

The leading technology solutions of the Oerlikon Group provides its customers with decisive advantages – both industrial and commercial customers as well as private end consumers.  Customers like Sony, Bosch, CMC, Kraft Foods, Ferrari, Reliance and Caterpillar use production technologies and components from Oerlikon Group to attain their own success with high-tech products such as solar modules, cars, computers, machine tools, jeans, shirts, oil platforms, tyres – and much more.  All Formula 1 engines receive a highly-resilient coating from Oerlikon Group to enhance their performance.  60% of all twines used in industrially manufactured rugs are produced on textile machines from Oerlikon Group.  The most modern solar modules currently available today are made in Oerlikon Group thin-film coating plants.

Oerlikon Group invests around CHF 250 million every year in R&D and has nearly 1,500 highly-qualified developers and scientists around the world working on the innovations of tomorrow.

OCOC is a globally leading company in the field of solar, thin film, vacuum propulsion, textile and precision technology.  Based on these core competencies, OCOC develops production systems, components, and services for high-technology products.  The Oerlikon Group’s commercial activities centre on turn-key solutions for the manufacturing of thin film silicon solar modules [Oerlikon Solar], protective coatings for precision tools and components [Oerlikon Coating], systems for producing vacuums and conveying process gases [Oerlikon Vacuum], equipment for textile production [Oerlikon Textile] and propulsion technology [Oerlikon Drive Systems] as well as aerospace and production systems for nanotechnology applications [Oerlikon Advanced Technologies].

The Group’s key figures for 2011 at a glance:-

Sales increased by 16 % to CHF 4,182 million from CHF 3,601 million in the previous year, fueled by orders received in the first half of the year and a full order book.

Net profit grew markedly to CHF 224 million (previous year: CHF 5 million).

Order intake decreased by 11 % to CHF 4,043 million (previous year: CHF 4,520 million) as market demand continued to normalize as expected.

Order backlog decreased by 13% and totaled CHF 1,481 million (previous year: CHF 1,702 million).

Regionally in 2011, the Group sharpened its focus on Asia, and especially China, in order to take full advantage of opportunities in the region.  Oerlikon has been doing business in Asia for almost 50 years and can draw on the strong positions it already holds in these key markets.  The site in Suzhou, China, is now the Group’s largest location worldwide.  Sales in Asia rose strongly, climbing to 49% in 2011 from 44% in 2010.  Oerlikon also launched initiatives in other growth markets to strike a geographical balance for its business over the mid- and long-term.

At Oerlikon Textile, sales rose by 23% in FY 2011, climbing to CHF 2,037 million.  Earnings before interest expense and taxation [EBIT] totaled CHF 183 million (previous year: CHF 21 million), resulting in a record EBIT margin of 9%.  Order intake decreased as expected, but was nonetheless very strong at CHF 1,977 million (previous year: CHF 2,509 million).  At Oerlikon Barmag, orders extend in part through 2014.  Order backlog decreased slightly to CHF 1,053 million (previous year: CHF 1,197 million).

As at 31st December, 2011, the Oerlikon Group had 17,227 employees (2010: 16,657).

The subject is fully supported by Oerlikon Textile segment and ultimately by the Oerlikon Group.

On the whole, in view of the parentage and background of the subject, consider it good for normal business engagements.
