Robit Plc: ROBIT RE-ORGANIZES HALCO BUSINESS IN USA

ROBIT PLC                    PRESS RELEASE                       5 FEBRUARY 2019 AT 08.30

ROBIT RE-ORGANIZES HALCO BUSINESS IN USA

Robit has sharpened its Down the Hole (DTH) strategy. Based on this plan Robit has decided to centralize the manufacturing of DTH bits from Robit Sherman factory, USA to other manufacturing units of the company and the production in Sherman ends. This arrangement increases the volumes and productivity in the Australian and UK manufacturing plants.

Halco business in North and South-America continues active and Halco continues to be able to serve its distributors and direct customers. This re-organizing has no impact on Robit branded business nor products in Americas region.

 This re-organizing reduces four persons from the production of the Sherman unit. The arrangement has no impact on Robit's guidance for the 2019.
