"Each division has established a strong platform for continuous operational improvements. Indeed, the current financial performance is partly a result of the efforts undertaken to enhance operational efficiencies. All divisions are also focused on pursuing organic and inorganic growth opportunities that had been identified in the strategy blueprint" he added. In particular, he highlighted the completion of the acquisition of the Bucyrus distribution business in Sime Darby Industrial Caterpillar dealership territories in December. This represents an opportunity to grow our presence in the region and also expand our leading position in our territories in Australia. The addition of the former Bucyrus product line will create new profit opportunities for the Division and we expect the transaction to be accretive to earnings by the fourth quarter of FY/2012. He also assured that the disposal of the Sime Darby Engineering (SDE) fabrication yards remains on track and is targeted to be completed by the end of this financial year. In view of the recent concerns over the performance of Malaysian palm oil downstream players, he stated that the Division has been intensifying its efforts to rationalise and strengthen the processes in its downstream operations. Our main focus is on prudent cost management and enhancing plant efficiency as well as productivity. We also have a pipeline of planned investments to diversify our product range into higher-margin speciality products.
