Press Release For Immediate Distribution * SinterCast Mini-System 3000 to be shipped during fourth quarter of 2012 * Ongoing product development for high performance cylinder block, head and bedplate * Tenth installation in the Asian market and further growth in the industrial power sector [Stockholm, 18 October 2012] - Building on SinterCast's longstanding support of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) product development in the industrial power sector, an undisclosed Asian OEM has ordered a Mini-System 3000 to support ongoing product development in its foundry. At the request of the OEM, the details of the installation and the engine programme must remain confidential until the planned series production launch, although SinterCast can confirm that the cylinder block, the cylinder head and the bedplate are all under development in CGI. The Mini-System 3000 will be shipped during November 2012 and commissioned during January 2013. "This agreement marks our tenth installation in Asia, broadening our presence and brand awareness in the critical Asian market and providing new opportunities to increase our production of components other than automotive cylinder blocks and heads" said Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "Despite the current economic climate, we are experiencing a clear increase in CGI product development and installation planning. This increase will allow us to deliver on our commitment to secure three new installation commitments before the end of 2012 and will also provide new installation opportunities during 2013. We look forward to supporting the CGI product development activities for this high performance engine and increasing our presence in the industrial power sector."
