Buybacks/Joint Ventures/Cooperation/Collaboration
Bergheim - On December 15, 2021, PALFINGER and SANY HEAVY INDUSTRIES signed an
agreement on the reversal of the cross-shareholding. This substantially
increases PALFINGER's strategic scope.
"Following years of constructive and successful cooperation on the operational
joint ventures, the cross-holding is no longer necessary," says
Andreas Klauser,
CEO of PALFINGER AG. "In addition, the complexity of our partnership is
reduced." The operational cooperation with SANY will be further expanded on the
basis of the good sales structure and access to the Chinese construction
industry.
To implement reversal of the cross-holding a closing price of the PALFINGER
share of at least EUR 34.68 is required by December 31, 2023. Completion of the
transaction will have a positive effect on PALFINGER's earnings of at least EUR
12 million.
Additionally, this restructuring of the cooperation between PALFINGER and SANY
will allow the companies to react even better and more efficiently to the
volatile market conditions.
In China and the CIS states, the successful joint ventures will be further
intensified. "The joint venture in China continues to show great potential and
will be expanded," says Andreas Klauser.
Since 2012, SANY has been a strong partner for PALFINGER in the development of
the Chinese market. The cooperation makes it possible to draw on SANY's
resources, know-how, manpower and sales network. Since early 2014, production
has been based in Rudong in the industrial zone near Shanghai where the
workforce currently numbers 400 and turnover is around EUR 80 million. "This
success is shown by the fact that PALFINGER is now no. 2 and the only European
company with a relevant share in the crane market in China," adds Andreas
Klause. "This year, over 4,000 cranes have already been produced at this site.
That means we have already surpassed our targets by 10%."
The reversal of the cross-holding that has been agreed represents another
important step toward significantly increasing PALFINGER's headroom for
potential acquisitions and investment and assuring continued growth.
