Continuing our story

Eventually we realised that we are really a Manufacturer of Sophisticated Marine Products . To build on that - we have taken a two-prong approach to meet the needs of the growing local and international superyacht, commercial, naval and recreational sectors:
-
Meeting the needs of the marine industry supply-chain by being a reliable supplier, specifically for high compliance requirement products.
-
Generally where there are stringent standards such as Class survey, DEF-STAN, NAVSEA, NES standards.
-
Unique products – Precision and high spec castings and components requiring flexible manufacturing.
-
Over years build capacity to handle up to 25 tonne assay, cast to 16 tonne.
-
-
Developing sophisticated marine products which have a high technical and capital barrier to entry.

FY17 FINANCIAL RESULT
FY17 was a very significant year for VEEM Ltd. This was the first financial year trading as an ASX listed public company.
-
The operational performance underscores the consistent reporting of profits by VEEM historically, whilst it continues to develop ground breaking technology in new products with the view to deliver substantial future earnings to the company.
-
Due to an increased emphasis on production productivity gains resulted in an gross profit margins increased for 2017.
-
Resulting in a lower overhead costs, leading to an increase of normalised profit after tax of $539,159 over prospectus forecast.
-
A key milestone for the Company during the year was the commencement of sales in the VEEM gyro range of gyro stabilising for vessels and the full production commencement of the VEEM Gyro VG120 and VG260 production.
-
The operating success provided the result in line with forecast and allowed the Board to maintain its dividend policy of declaring a dividend subsequent to year end of 30% of Normalised Net Profit after Tax, representing 1.23 cents per share, with a total dividend of approximately $1.6 million.
