36 At present, the West-European automotive industry is undergoing a difficult economic phase. Manufacturers can not operate at full capacity and have once again taken on activities that were previously outsourced. This puts additional pressure on suppliers. Miba Sinter Group, whose main sales market is the European automotive industry, has performed well in this difficult market environment and was able to gain market share.
Right on track in a difficult environment In the past year, approximately 18 million passenger cars, 2.8% more than the preceding year, were manufactured in Europe. It should be noted that the number of cars produced in Western Europe stagnated at the level of the previous year. Over the same time period, the number of cars manufactured in Central and Eastern Europe increased by approximately 18.5%. In 2004, the share of cars manufactured in Central and Eastern Europe increased from 15% to 18% of the total European automotive market. Sinter Group In the previous fiscal year, Miba Sinter Group increased its annual sales by 6.8% or 10.2 million EUR. With 161.1 million EUR, this makes up approximately half of Miba Group’s entire sales. Miba Sinter Group benefited from an above-average growth of individual customers, and incurred a slight shift in the buyers’ structure. In the 2003/04 fiscal year, Miba Sinter Group supplied approximately 53% of its sales volume directly to the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). In 2004/05, this figure amounted to approximately 51%. Additional sales increases could be achieved with Tier-1 suppliers. It is positive that Miba Sinter Group has grown in all business lines. The strongest increases were recorded in the two largest business lines: Engine Components and Transmission Components. In particular, the components of camshaft phasers (variable valve control – VVT) and gears were the driving force for growth. Competition and its corresponding cost pressure increased considerably over the past fiscal year. The significant rise in material costs for powder as a result of the worldwide price hike witnessed for scrap metal further enhanced the competitive pressure. 37
