Walter Logan introduce cable glands up to M110

Walter Logan & Co are proud to present to the UK market, the Pflitsch large cable glands, recently introduced at the Hannover Industry Fair. A growing number of enquiries for very large cable glands is being received from the power engineering industry. For PFLITSCH’s designers, its flexible tool making shop and its machine plant that was not a problem.

Hawke News - Russian And Chinese Approvals Expansion

We have achieved significant approvals for our hazardous area cable gland and connector product ranges from the relevant Russian and Chinese authorities. The ControlEx flameproof range of connectors for use in hazardous areas has achieved GOST-R certification, allowing for their use in the Russian territories, which is of ever increasing importance within the oil and gas market.

Our connectors, including models for low medium and high power applications, are a major aid to productivity. They permit speedy and safe connection of instrumentation, control and power equipment. This allows the installation and commissioning of service modules or the deployment of permanently fixed and temporary plant to proceed safely and more quickly within a hazardous environment.Chinese GB approval has also been given by the CQST test organisation for the IECEx approved ranges of cable glands that have been tested by BASEEFA in the UK. This supplements the existing ATEX, IECEx, GOST, ABS, DNV, CEPEL, UL, cUL, and CSA certifications. These ensure where hard-wired permanent connections are required, our cable glands meet the need for robust cable termination. All models are engineered for secure cable anchorage, long life, low maintenance and easy inspection. The extensive range has high integrity seals, deluge protection and can be used with a range of cable diameters and constructions.

Safety and long term reliability is a crucial issue for the global oil and gas industry and as Russian and Chinese capacity increases we are in a position to supply world-class electrical connection products to these expanding markets.

Leoni continued to grow in the third quarter of 2007

Leoni continued to grow in the third quarter of 2007

Leoni AG continued on its expansion course in the third quarter of 2007 as well: The consolidated sales of this specialist in wire, cable and wiring systems increased by 10.5 percent year on year to EUR 593.3 million (previous year: 536.7). The volume of business increased by a total of 16 percent in the first nine months, to EUR 1.77 billion (2006: 1.53). Although Leoni recorded a drop in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to EUR 34.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 (37.7 in 2006) due to pre-production spending on future projects, the EBIT of EUR 103.8 million for the period from January to September 2007 held exactly at the corresponding figure for the previous year. Consolidated net income was up 25 percent in the third quarter of 2007 to EUR 27.8 million (2006: 22.3). Added up over the first nine months, net income rose to a new high of EUR 72.4 million (2006: 60.7), boosted by tax benefits.

The basis for Leoni AG’s ongoing expansion is its strong position in growing markets and a successful acquisition strategy. Of the sales increase over the first three quarters of 2007 totalling EUR 244.7 million, Leoni generated a large proportion of EUR 99.4 million from its own resources. Acquisitions accounted for EUR 101.3 million. The remaining EUR 44.0 million was due to a higher price of copper.

At the end of September 2007, Leoni employed 34,958 people Group-wide, up from 34,753. Of this total, 30,970 people worked at facilities outside Germany (previous year: 30,950). In Germany, the workforce increased, due to new subsidiaries and recruitment, by 185 employees to 3,988 people.

Trend towards higher-end equipment on cars continuing

In the Wiring Systems division, external sales in the third quarter of 2007 again rose slightly versus the same period of the previous year to EUR 229.3 million (from 225.0). After nine months, the gain was one of about 4 percent to EUR 736.0 million (previous year: 710.6). Leoni benefited from the ongoing trend towards higher-end equipment on vehicles and thus towards complex wiring systems. Business grew above all with customers BMW and VW as well as with the commercial vehicle industry. Due to major pre-production spending on new projects, EBIT in the first three quarters of 2007 was down from EUR 50.8 million in the same period of the previous year to EUR 40.4 million. Development work in particular was stepped up to prepare for these new projects, which will make initial sales contributions from the second half of 2008. In addition, Leoni expanded its production capacity at facilities in China, Tunisia and the Ukraine among other locations.

Strong project business involving cable systems

The Wire & Cable Solutions division increased its external sales by nearly 17 percent year on year in the period from July to September 2007, to EUR 364.0 million (from 311.7). The division’s sales increased by 27 percent overall in the first nine months, to EUR 1,034.3 million (2006: 815.0). Here Leoni grew above all as a result of infrastructure projects – among others involving cable systems for refineries and airports. Special cables for medical equipment as well as for the mobile communications and railway industries were also in strong demand. The division’s EBIT in the first three quarters of 2007 rose by 23 percent compared with the same period in the previous year to EUR 65.2 million (from 53.0).

Forecasts confirmed

Leoni AG’s good business performance in the period from January to September 2007 confirms its forecasts for the year as a whole: From today’s perspective, Leoni’s consolidated sales will rise from € 2.1 billion in 2006 to about € 2.3 billion in fiscal 2007.  EBIT should be roughly in line with the previous year’s record level of EUR 130 million. Fiscal 2007 consolidated net income is likely to set a new high of more than EUR 83 million (2006: 79.3). Leoni AG will improve its position in the market significantly and will obtain further growth impetus as a result of taking over the wiring systems division of Valeo, which, subject to competition authority approval, will take effect on 1 January 2008.
