During the past twelve months Arcam has changed significantly. While sales of
our EBM systems continue to increase, we have expanded our business with the
metal powder manufacturer AP&C in Canada and the contract manufacturer DiSanto
in the US. We now have an offering to our clients with our EBM systems as a hub
and metal powders and contract manufacturing being important supplementary
products, broadening our offering to the market and providing recurring sales.
Trailing twelve months sales amounts to 268.7 MSEK and operating profit amounts
to 13.4 MSEK. The operating profit includes non-recurring costs associated with
the acquisition of AP&C and DiSanto of about 10.4 MSEK.
Acquisition of AP&C
In February we acquired the powder producer AP&C from Raymor Industries in
Canada. AP&C is a leading manufacturer of high quality metal powder and supplier
of titanium powder to Arcam since 2006. Titanium powder is an important part of
our offering and with this acquisition we have secured access to the best
technology for the production of high quality metal powder for our customers.
The acquisition is fully in line with our growth strategy and complements our
EBM technology and product portfolio. The acquisition was completed on February
11, and is consolidated from this date.
Acquisition of DiSanto Technology
In September Arcam acquired DiSanto, a strategic partner since February 2013.
The acquisition combines Arcam’s cutting-edge Additive Manufacturing technology
with DiSanto’s full-service contract manufacturing services for orthopedic
implants. Through DiSanto we offer manufacturing of advanced EBM-based implants
and other components.
The combination of Arcam’s EBM technology and DiSanto´s know-how in orthopedic
implant manufacturing will accelerate the market adoption of Additive
Manufacturing in the implant industry.
DiSanto is a fully equipped and certified production facility for the production
of finished orthopedic implants with approximately 100 employees. The
acquisition was finalized on September 2, 2014 and DiSanto is consolidated from
this date.
Through these acquisitions we now have a broad offering for our customers; metal
powders through AP&C, acquired earlier this year, EBM systems and services
through Arcam AB and contract manufacturing through DiSanto. The acquisition is
thus in line with our growth strategy, and complements our technology and
product portfolio.
Business status
We received 21 new orders in the period and we see a continued strong demand,
particularly from the aerospace industry. Order intake for our new large system,
Arcam Q20, is strong.
The work to industrialize our technology with the major players within the
aerospace and implant industries continue and we can now see good opportunities
for volume orders during the year. Of the 20 systems that were delivered during
the period the majority went to customers within the medical implant or the
aerospace industry.
In the beginning of July we acquired our agent in the UK. We already have a
support operation in the UK and with this new step we take responsibility for
direct sales and support on the important UK market.
Growth – organic and through acquisitions
In addition to the acquisition of AP&C and DiSanto we are in rapid organic
growth. We thus continue to recruit qualified employees in order to meet the
expectations from our customers. During the period we have strengthened our
service office in China and the support organization in Sweden. Through the
acquisition of AP&C and DiSanto and through recruitment the number of employees
has increased from 64 to 233 since September 2013. We will maintain an ambitious
recruitment pace in order to further develop our technology and offering and
thus exploiting the present business situation.
A strong order book and a positive business situation lay a solid foundation for
a strong closing of 2014 and continued growth in 2015.
