Alleima Capital Markets Day on November 14, 2023
Today at 2.00 pm CET, Alleima will host its Capital Markets Day in Stockholm, Sweden.
At the Capital Markets Day, Göran Björkman, President and CEO and Olof Bengtsson, CFO, will provide an update on the company’s performance and present the strategic focus areas, key achievements and ambitions going forward. Robert Stål, President of Kanthal, will present the Kanthal division and how it plays an important role in the continued development of Alleima. The overall strategy and financial targets remain the same and focus going forward will be on capturing opportunities to accelerate profitable growth.
“Alleima is a niche-player with a premium offering, based on leading metallurgy. We are well positioned to capture significant profitable growth opportunities in high-value markets. During recent years, we have improved our financial performance by increased profitability and reduced volatility, and we have clear opportunities to continue to strengthen the company”, says Göran Björkman, President and CEO of Alleima.
Profitable growth and capital allocation
The profitable growth strategy is based on capitalizing on global megatrends, such as a growing demand for energy, the shift to fossil-free energy and energy-efficiency, electrification, as well as a growing and an aging population driving the development of new healthcare technology. Alleima has four targeted customer segments: Chemical and Petrochemical, Hydrogen and Renewable Energy, Industrial Heating and Medical, which are the key focus areas of the capital allocation strategy to generate growth through business development, investments as well as M&A. The four segments have in general stronger market positions, higher growth rates, better profitability, lower capital intensity and better resilience than the Alleima average.
Alleima’s ambition is to increase the targeted segments’ total share of revenues from 32% in 2022 to 45% in 2030.
Increasing capacity in silicon carbide heating elements
Demand for electrical heating solutions is growing, driven by several industries, such as lithium-ion battery manufacturing, electronics, display glass, and solar panels. To capture this growth, Alleima’s Kanthal division is increasing its existing silicon carbide heating element (SiC) capacity in Perth, UK. Kanthal will also invest in a new service center on the existing production site in Concord, US, to conduct finishing operations for SiC for the US market. The investment is estimated to approximately SEK 100 million between 2024-2025, and will increase the production capacity by approximately 40%. Production is expected to be fully operational by 2026.
Historical financial performance since 2015
Alleima has built a solid financial foundation and proven its financial resilience though the business cycle in recent years, with increased profitability reduced volatility. Alleima has published yearly historical revenues and adjusted EBIT of Alleima Group and its divisions from 2015 and onwards on Alleima’s website.
