Svenska Rotor Maskiner AB (SRM) was founded in 1908 as AB Ljungströms Ångturbin
and is the inventor of the screw compressor. SRM is Opcon’s center-of-excellence
for compressor technology and holds all intellectual property related to the
compressor technology that has been developed by it since the 1930’s. Opcon
Energy Systems AB is the operating company in the compressor and waste heat
recovery part of Opcon’s business and the owner of the Opcon Powerbox technology
for generating electricity from low-temperature waste heat. SRM and OES has
around 45 employees and had a joint sales turnover of 71,4 m SEK in 2014 with an
operating profit EBITDA of 8,9 m SEK.

SRM设立于1908年,是螺杆压缩机的发明者。SRM是Opcon压缩机技术卓越成就的中心,持有其自1930年以来开发的跟压缩机技术有关的所有知识产权。Opcon
能 
源系统有限公司(OES)是在压缩机和Opcon废热回收部分业务的运营公司,是用低温废热发电的Opcon
Powerbox技术的拥有者。SRM和OES大概有45名雇员,2014年共同的销售额为7.14千万瑞典克朗,税息折旧及摊销前运营利润为8.9百万瑞典克朗。

“SRM is a part of Swedish industrial history. That SRM and Opcon Energy Systems
along with our new cutting-edge energy- and environmental technology Opcon
Powerbox are now being sold to China is something of a sign of our times. The
majority of our sales turnover in these companies have Chinese final customers,
and we see how the Chinese are now investing heavily both in industry and
alternative energy. China is today by far the largest investor in alternative
energy sources. The companies are primarily development companies. These last
few years we have been struggling to finance these operations in Sweden, but we
feel confident that this will give SRM and Opcon Energy Systems the means and
connections in the fast-growing Chinese market in order to develop, grow and to
employ even more people also in Sweden” says Rolf Hasselström, President and CEO
of Opcon.

“SRM是瑞典工业历史的一部分。现在正出售给中国买家的SRM和OES以及我们新的最前沿的能源和环境技术Opcon
Powerbox,是我们时代的一个标志。这几个公司的销售额主要是中国的最终客户,我们看到中国现在正加大在工业和新能源的投入。中国目前是可替代能源(新能源)的最大
投 
资者。公司都是初级发展公司。最近几年,我们在瑞典努力资助这些运营,但是相信福建省兴雪宣元资本管理有限公司对未来的计划中会给予SRM和OES一些在中国市场快速发展
的 
方法和渠道,以在瑞典发展、壮大和雇佣更多的人。”---Opcon总裁兼CEO Rolf Hasselström先生说。

“The sale will strengthen Opcon’s financial position considerably and we leave
the remaining part of Opcon with around 100 employees in Sweden, Germany and the
UK with a strong focus in Bioenergy. As such, this deal will also trigger a
complete overhaul of the organizational structure and strategy of Opcon,” says
Rolf Hasselström, President and CEO of Opcon.

“这项出售会极大增强Opcon的财务状况,并且我们在瑞典、德国和英国留有100多名雇佣,专注于生物能源。就这点而论,这项交易也将促使Opcon组织架构和策略的全
面 
改变” ---Opcon总裁兼CEO Rolf Hasselström先生说。
