KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG: Partnership with CATIC Beijing of China creates new growth opportunities

2011-02-21

Köln

KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG successfully completes capital increase
Trading for new stocks begins today
KHD and CATIC foresee immense growth potential

KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG („KHD“), one of the leading suppliers of industrial plants and services for the global cement industry has successfully completed its planned capital increase. Trading for the new stocks starts today. Raising share capital by EUR 16,561,021 from EUR 33,142,552 to EUR 49,703,573 was one of the main pre-requisites for the partnership with Chinese state-owned CATIC Beijing Co. Ltd. The successful conclusion of the capital increase and CATIC’s resulting 20% equity holding (through its indirect subsidiary Max Glory Industries Ltd.) clears the way for the two companies to expand their global business together.

The partnership utilizes the strengths of both companies: KHD and CATIC will now be able to offer selected competitive turn-key solutions for the cement industry by combining the strengths of KHD’s technology and CATIC’s construction experience and competitive cost platform. An increasing amount of new cement plant projects are requesting a turn-key solution. Until now CATIC has been working mostly with Asian partners for non-CATIC technology. KHD adds strong process knowledge, engineering ”made in Germany”, equipment design and over 150 years of cement industry experience to the partnership. This strengthens both CATIC's and KHD’s position as a provider of competitive turn-key cement plants, and consequently their collective market presence.

The partnership with CATIC also allows the Cologne-based group to tap into the huge growth potential in China. Accounting for over 50% of global cement consumption, China is the world’s largest market for cement plant construction.

„The circumstances in China could not be better. The Chinese government is actively pushing for more environmentally friendly technologies and products and with our innovative and energy-efficient technologies we are striving to gain a strong portion of this market”, explains KHD CEO Jouni Salo. Cornerstones for partnership strategy include access to competitive equipment and parts sourcing as well as mutual investment in both manufacturing and design facilities in China. These investments will be able to provide services to the entire group on a global level.

„The opportunities that the CATIC partnership offers are huge. CATIC and KHD are already working on several major proposals together and therefore we hope to see the effect in our revenues and profits within the next 24 to 30 months”, Salo goes on to say.

CATIC Beijing CEO Diao Weicheng also sees the partnership as the basis for long-term success for both companies. „Working with a strong technology partner like KHD means that we can increase our cement activities inside and outside of China and we are now in the position to bid on projects, which were closed to us in the past.”
