HIGHWAY
HOLDINGS RECEIVES ADDITIONAL OEM BUSINESS FROM OSRAM
FOR
LIGHTING FIXTURE PRODUCTION
HONG
KONG - July
30, 2007 --
Highway
Holdings Limited (Nasdaq:HIHO) today announced an expansion of its existing
OEM
business from OSRAM GmbH,
a
subsidiary of Siemens AG (NYSE:SI), with the addition of orders for a product
line of batten fixtures for T8 fluorescent lights designed for the European
consumer market. OEM production has commenced.
The
company also said it received a tooling order from OSRAM for complete OEM
production for another lighting fixture product series. The new order for the
lighting fixture model and the subsequent products that will be produced
following the completion of tooling are expected to increase sales derived
from
OSRAM’s lighting fixture business by an estimated 50 percent annually.
Additional lighting fixture business is expected based on the company’s past
experience and OSRAM’s strategic focus on utilizing select and reliable vendor
relationships. Terms were not disclosed.
“This
new OEM contract is the result of management’s ongoing focus to leverage the
company’s expanding manufacturing capabilities to produce more sophisticated and
complete products for global customers. The relationship with OSRAM commenced
in
1992, and since its inception has developed into a very solid relationship,”
said Roland Kohl, president and chief executive officer.
He
noted that recent vendor evaluation reports for metal casing OEM production
for
OSRAM have
been good-to-outstanding, based on criteria such as business, technology,
logistics, quality and price. “Our relationships with multi-national customers
have developed over a period of many years -- predicated on the company’s solid
manufacturing performance and the establishment of mutual understanding and
respect. As a result, our revenue growth is expected to gain further momentum
based on these established relationships and the importance our clients place
on
service, manufacturing capabilities and capacity - qualities not easily
replicated,” Kohl added.
OSRAM
is one of the two leading lighting manufacturers in the world. Sales for the
year ended September 30, 2006 totalled 4.6 billion euros, 88 percent of which
came from outside Germany. OSRAM is a high-tech company in the lighting sector.
Around 40 percent of sales come from innovative products. This global player
employs around 40,000 people worldwide, supplies customers in some 150 countries
and has 49 production facilities in 18 countries.
