Group Overview - Torre Parts And Components

Transcript

Group Overview Torre Industries Ltd is a Johannesburg Stock Exchange Listed industrial group that provides equipment, parts, financing and support services to its customers in selected high growth markets. Torre’s business is the value added sale and rental of branded capital equipment, the distribution of high quality aftermarket parts, the delivery of critical support services and the provision of financing solutions in support of our customer’s expansion programmes. Torre Industries is highly focused on the expansion and optimisation of our existing subsidiaries. In addition to our organic growth strategy, we are committed to a systematic acquisition strategy with all target companies operating in identified market sectors in which Torre seeks to operate. They must have an established market position with the inherent ability to grow sustainable earnings and cash flow once they become part of the Torre group. The Torre business model has already evolved from one that was driven primarily by acquisitive growth to one that is focused on organic initiatives, with acquisitions as an additional growth engine. Over time it is expected that the growth attributable to acquisition activity will continue to decrease as a proportion of the overall growth of the business. Operating Segments Capital Equipment Parts and Components Analytical Services History Torre was listed on the JSE on 26th November 2012, replacing the listing of SA French Ltd. The name “Torre” was chosen by the founding shareholders out of respect for the history of SA French as the leader in the tower crane market in South Africa, but also to signal the intent of the new group to develop a robust and defendable business model. On the date of its listing Torre acquired 100% of SA French in a 1-for-10 share swap. The company also raised ZAR30m of new equity via a private placement and acquired 100% of Forktech (Pty) Ltd, a Cape Town based business, engaged in sales and rental of branded forklift products. 1 June 2013 Torre finalized the acquisition of 100% of Tractor and Grader Supplies (Pty) Ltd, a value-added distributor of repair parts and components for mining and construction earthmoving equipment, following the completion of a ZAR80m private placement. 28 February 2014 Torre finalized the acquisition of 85% of Kanu Equipment Group, the exclusive dealer for Bell and Liebherr equipment in the Republic of Congo. Subsequent to the completion of the acquisition, the Liebherr and Bell agencies for Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Sierra Leone were also awarded to Kanu. 31 March 2014 Torre finalised the acquisition of 100% of Manhand (Pty) Ltd and its joining with Forktech to form a materials handling operation with a comprehensive and price competitive forklift, warehousing and forklift attachment offering. The combined business will have a distribution footprint across South Africa and has been incorporated into Torre Lifting Solutions. 30 April 2014 Torre finalised the acquisition of JSE-listed Control Instruments Group Limited and its relaunch as Torre Parts and Components following the completion of a ZAR300m private placement earlier in the month. The acquisition provides Torre with a leading position in the automotive aftermarket with a portfolio of self-owned and exclusively distributed brands that include Gabriel ®, the African market leader in ride control systems. 1 January 2015 Torre finalised the acquisition of 100% of Elephant Lifting Equipment, a specialist designer and supplier of a fully integrated range of lifting and pulling equipment with full service back up, testing and certification. In due course Elephant Lifting and Manhand will be combined with SA French and the three units will operate jointly under the umbrella brand of Torre Lifting Solutions. 13 May 2015 the acquisition of 100% of Set Point Group was finalised, along with a R350m private share placement to The Mineworkers Investment Company and Safika Holdings. As a result of the acquisition and the private placement Torre is now 27.1% owned by black South African investors.
