SinterCast AB (publ) announced production results for the second quarter and first half of 2018. Annualised series production reached 2.7 million Engine Equivalents in the second quarter of 2018, surpassing the previous record of 2.5 million Engine Equivalents set in the first quarter. Sampling Cup volume also established a new all-time high in the second quarter, with 68,800 Sampling Cups being shipped to customers.

Following two consecutive quarters of record series production, year-on-year production is up 24% at the half-year point. During the first half of the year, 101,300 Sampling Cups were shipped, providing a year-on-year increase of 64% and putting the company solidly ahead of pace to exceed the previous full-year high of 168,800 Sampling Cups set in 2016.

The full-year outlook remains positive, benefitting from the anticipated start of production of a new high-volume in-line diesel engine for passenger vehicles in the third-quarter.
