AddisonMckee
restructures
ADDISONMCKEE Inc has announced that it
had completed a financial restructuring and
is now well capitalised, with ample working
capital to support its business lines. The
transaction reduced the company’s debt by
75 per cent, secured a new bank facility and
provided additional equity capital.
The company’s board issued the following
statement: “Like many of our customers
and suppliers, AddisonMckee executed an
extensive cost cutting program during the
painful economic downturn of 2008/2009.
Since the change of control in March the
company has implemented management
changes and initiated operational
improvements designed to drive improved
performance throughout the organisation.
“These improvements – and now the
completion of our financial restructuring – will
allow us to support new product launches and
services and implement geographic expansion
plans delayed by the 2008/2009 downturn.
With respect to new products, we are now
taking orders for new models of tube bending,
end-forming and muffler products and will offer
additional new products in 2011.”
