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.” AddisonMckee – USA Website: www.addisonmckee.com Uniform Tubes is now Accellent ACCELLENT Manchester (formerly Uniform Tubes Europe) is nowpart of theworld’s largest premier contract manufacturer of tubular components.
