INCAP IS FOCUSING ON CORE BUSINESS AND IMPLEMENTING A TURNAROUND PROGRAM
Incap Corporation's Board has decided on actions of the company's turnaround
program. The overall strategy in the program is to focus on core business, i.e.
manufacturing and deliveries to customers. The customer relationships are
strengthened by special attention to the improvement of delivery accuracy in
terms of On-Time-Delivery and to the enhancement of efficiency both in
production and supporting functions.
In the first stage, the target is to restore the profitability of operations and
to reach total annual savings of approximately EUR 2.9 million in overhead costs
and of approximately EUR 1.8 million in factory costs. The respective actions
are estimated to cause one-time costs of approximately EUR 1.6 million, and
accordingly, the total net savings will be approximately EUR 3.1 million. The
actions have already been started and their results are scheduled to be seen
within a varying time span during 2013 and 2014. The impact of the actions will
be evaluated by the end of January 2014. In case the targeted savings have not
become evident in desired speed and intensity, the second stage of the program
will be launched.
Incap continues to focus on the customer segments Energy efficiency and Well-
being technologies. Efforts to build up in-house design services to a strategic
competitive edge are replaced with the development of design services in
cooperation with partnering R&D companies.
The factories shall operate as self-sufficient profit centres while the
corporate functions' role is minimized. Supporting and coordinating duties are
streamlined and as a part of this, cooperative negotiations in the Group
services in Finland are on-going.
The production capacity and organisation are adopted according to demand,
especially in the Kuressaare factory. Actions to increase the efficiency and
productivity are implemented in all factories.
The need for office locations is reconsidered. The office in Bangalore will move
to smaller premises by the end of the year. To reduce the costs, the company has
initiated negotiations on the rental contracts both in Tallinn and in
Kuressaare.
Fredrik Berghel, President and CEO of Incap Group: "The past months have been
challenging besides to Incap itself also to our customers and other
stakeholders. The situation is somewhat better today after the financing
arrangement, and we will continue our efforts to regain the trust in the market
and to ensure the turn to profitability. Many measures have already been taken
to cut the immediate costs and restore the profitability. Our special focus is
the customer relationships and the deliveries according to promise, which are
the cornerstones when ensuring the business both in short and long term."
