Bolt-on 'Forecast 3D' acquisition
reinforces existing AM business
Integration on track
Targeting differentiated markets,
mainly non-automotive
Technology development reducing
costs and time to market
COVID-19 demand response
Rapid, successful immediate COVID-19
actions - especially in direct labour
Global design and production
footprint established
Accelerated indirect and overhead
reductions in core plants
Renegotiated commercial contracts in
light of reduced demand
Improved productivity and performance
of 'Powder' business (Hoeganaes),
including energy management
New business structure to focus effort on

I
Structural cost actions
Concentrating production in core profitable
plants
Exiting unattractive business and contracts in
'Structural' segment
▪ Automation projects in challenged plants to
drive productivity/margins
Hydrogen storage
solutions
I
Developing new integrated solutions for
storing hydrogen (H2) as zero-emission
energy
Utilises technology for H2 storage in
metal hydride powder
Approach reduces H2 compression
and storage vessel size
Integrated packages with control
systems for energy release
Prototypes performing well in European
markets
