ATS Automation Tooling Systems has announced that it has completed the planned sale of the assets which comprised its thermal products business - for approximately US $7.1 million in cash, net of disposition expenses.
"Today's sale of the thermal products assets is another important step forward in achieving our improvement goals within our Precision Components Group," said Klaus Woerner, ATS President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We expect that under its new owner, the thermals business will benefit as part of a company that has complementary technologies and a substantial presence in Asia.
This sale also frees up needed factory space to support growth in other areas of our business." In anticipation of the sale, ATS treated the thermal products business as a discontinued operation in its recently reported second quarter results for the three months ended September 30, 2004.
The sale will be reflected in the Company's third quarter (three months ended December 31, 2004) and is not expected to result in any significant gain or loss.
The buyer cannot be identified because of confidentiality.
