ELTA GROUP ACQUIRE AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS BURRA SHEETMETAL

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the acquisition of the Burra Sheetmetal business into the Elta Group of companies. The business will be integrated into Fantech operations under the ongoing management of Brad Ackehurst, Fantech National Operations Manager. Burra Sheetmetal began operating in 1986 initially producing mostly ductwork and flashings for its own air conditioning business. Its facility is still located in its home town of Korumburra, approximately 120km South East of the Melbourne Central Business District and 85km from the

Fantech operation in Dandenong. In late 1995 continual growth and the opportunity to expand further, saw the need for Burra Sheetmetal to invest in computer operated machinery. By further strengthening its capabilities the business gained advantage that was unique for a company outside Melbourne's main manufacturing hubs and gave them an expanded product offering. The relationship between Fantech and Burra Sheetmetal has strengthened over many years, with up to 80% of the existing work volume at Burra coming from Fantech's component requirements such as brackets, motor mount platforms and mounting feet. Following the newly formed relationship there are plans to expand the Burra operation through further fabrication opportunities from the Elta Group of businesses and other

potential customers.

David Ball, Vice Chairman of the Elta Group of companies commented

"The existing staff of Burra Sheetmetal has been a key to its ongoing

success, consisting of 17 fulltime staff with most having completed either

Certificate III or IV in Competitive Manufacturing. The management team at

Burra will maintain their current responsibilities, and the business is

committed to Lean manufacturing principles and continual improvement

through the adoption of Best Practice processes."

Elta Group is a £80 million family of businesses with operations in six

countries on four continents which, together with a network of international

distributors, provides quality fans and related air movement equipment to

customers worldwide.
