Toa Koki becomes first Japanese foundry to install the SinterCast Process Control Technology

• Toa Koki Co., Ltd. orders Mini-System 3000 for CGI product development and series production
• Pre-production of large diesel engine components for marine and stationary engines underway
• Near-term potential for annual production of more than 100,000 Engine Equivalents
• Five new installation commitments secured during 2011 with further potential before year-end

[Stockholm, 25 October 2011] – Building on SinterCast's longstanding support of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) product development in the industrial power sector, the Toa Koki foundry of Japan, one of the world's leading foundries for the production of large marine and stationary diesel engine components, has ordered a Mini-System 3000. The installation, scheduled for early-December, follows more than two years of on-site trials and technical support during the initial product development phase and provides Toa Koki with independent CGI product development capability in the lead-up to series production. With the potential for the production of more than 100,000 Engine Equivalents per year in the near-term, the installation at Toa Koki provides the opportunity for SinterCast to increase its production of components beyond the core automotive cylinder block and head sector. At present, components other than automotive cylinder blocks and heads account for approximately 15% of SinterCast's series production volume.

"The installation commitment from Toa Koki results in five new installations during 2011, fulfilling the installation target initially presented during November 2010. We are experiencing a clear increase in CGI product development and installation planning and we anticipate additional installation commitments over the next six months" said Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "Toa Koki has been an ideal partner during the product development phase and we look forward to working together with them to support the CGI series production requirements of the industrial power sector and to further diversify our production portfolio."
