KMT's subsidiary UVA receives a new strategic important order from China


UPPLANDS VASBY, Sweden, Sept. 17, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- UVA has received an order for precision grinding machines from a newly formed company in China, Yantai Dongda Fuel Injection, in the province of Shandong.

The order includes the first delivery to China of several new products, including the new internal grinder generation Nomyline and match grinding cells. The combination of these two products means that Yantai Dongda will be able to produce the most critical components in an integrated production system for diesel fuel injection to the highest quality.

This is another step in the present trend among Chinese manufacturers of fuel injection systems -- the quality of their products is improved to meet the increasing demands from the Chinese environmental laws.

``UVA secured the order in competition with many others because the customer Yangtai Dongda realized that only UVA can manage this type of complete grinding solutions and that UVA is the clearly leading supplier of internal grinding machines for the most demanding applications says Johan Soderstrom, President of UVA".

UVA has delivered far over 100 precision grinding machines to Chine since the 1960-ies and has a representative office in Beijing since year 2000.
