[Stockholm, 17 May 2022] – SinterCast Aktiebolag’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) was conducted on 17 May 2022. During the AGM, Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO, presented an overview of recent market activities and provided an outlook for the potential market development. Dr Dawson acknowledged the current challenges in the market, but expressed confidence in the continued double-digit growth of series production. Specifically, he reiterated the goal to grow from the current annualised monthly production of approximately 3.3 million Engine Equivalents to four million before year-end; the ambition to reach the five million milestone in 2024; and, the company’s confidence in growth beyond five million Engine Equivalents. Dr Dawson also presented the new petrol engine concept for small passenger vehicles that SinterCast unveiled together with Tupy and Ricardo at the Vienna Motor Symposium on 27 April. He noted that the concept had already been presented directly to a handful of OEM’s, receiving positive feedback and interest. SinterCast and its partners will continue to motivate this new technology to establish new opportunities for Compacted Graphite Iron in small engines using petrol and alternative low-carbon fuels, and in hybrid and range extender applications. The recorded presentation will be available on the SinterCast website on or before 23 May.
