Nexans Secures 9.5 Million Euros Contract to Supply FLAMEX® Cables for China Railway High-Speed Trains

Over 10,000km FLAMEX® cables to be supplied for 79 train-sets

Regulatory News:

Nexans (Paris:NEX), the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has been awarded for a 9.5 million euros contract to supply China's state-owned vehicle producer, CNR Corporation Limited (CNR), with the cables it requires to develop the China Railway High-speed (CRH) trains that will enter in service between Beijing and Shanghai in 2011.

Cable provided are manufactured at Nexans China's production facilities in Waigaoqiao and Baoshan, both located in Shanghai. The first batch of cables will be delivered in March 2010 and the last in March 2011.

This contract is in addition to the first award from CNR on control, power and data cables that Nexans got in July 2009 for a value of 5.0 million euros on the same programme.

This is one of the biggest spot orders for Nexans Rolling Stock business supplying a total number of over 10,000 km power control and data cables for 79 train-sets. The cables will be delivered to the CNR subsidiaries, the Tangshan Railway Vehicle Company (TRC) and the Changchun Railway Vehicle Company (CRC), which are responsible for developing and manufacturing the high-speed trains.

The new CRH trains will be composed of 16 cars, for a design speed of 350km/h, and will be able to carry up to 1,026 passengers.

The cables supplied to this CRH project come from Nexans' FLAMEX® range, which have been specially designed to adhere to the various international standards and safety needs of the rolling stock industry. For instance, the cables selected are environmentally friendly and halogen free - this helps ensure the cable resists the propagation of fire and produces low smoke emissions in the event that a fire occurs.

Stéphane Mortelette, Nexans Global Segment Manager for Rolling Stock says, "Nexans cables were selected by CNR because we demonstrated high levels of quality, technical services, an ability to meet tight deadlines, thanks to our local factories in China. With this new contract, Nexans confirms its leading position for rolling stock cables globally and on the Chinese booming high speed train market in particular."

Laboratory measurement within the Endesa Supercable project demonstrates real world feasibility

Regulatory News:

Nexans' (Paris:NEX) superconductor specialists have successfully concluded the Endesa Supercable project while setting a new world record. In December 2009, the single-phase, medium voltage cable (24 kV) carried 3,200 A in laboratory conditions, almost 10 percent more than any installed medium voltage cable worldwide. During ten load cycles of 24 hours the rated current was applied for 8 hours per cycle while the cable was subjected to twice the nominal voltage continuously.

The project partners, Nexans, the global leader in cables and cabling solutions, Endesa S.A., the Spanish energy provider and the ICMAB-CSIC Institute for Materials Sciences (Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona - Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas) are planning an installation in a power grid as the next step. The 30-metre long demonstration cable, including associated terminations and cryogenic equipment, demonstrated viability in the Nexans laboratory in Hanover. The superconducting cable withstood test protocols incorporating varying loads, with voltages exceeding the nominal value.

High-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials exhibit almost no electrical resistance at their operating temperature of approximately -200°C. They can transport higher currents with considerably smaller cross-sections compared to conventional aluminium or copper. Superconductor cables are therefore well positioned to form the "main artery" of urban distribution networks.

"The Endesa Supercable demonstrates the possibilities that exist for the power grids of the future", comments Frank Schmidt, Head of the HTS Systems division at Nexans in Hanover. "High-power network sections can benefit from superconductor cables which provide an alternative to traditional technologies by transmitting the same power at a lower voltage. Both the number of transformer stations and total losses in the network can therefore be minimized and the associated savings will help superconductors to become economically viable in the coming years", states Frank Schmidt.

There are other advantages to superconductor cables. Despite their outer cryogenic sheath (the thermal insulation), they still take up less space than similar copper cables while providing the same power transmission capacity, and they emit neither electromagnetic fields nor heat. This makes it possible to space the cables phases closely together, which allows underground space to be used more effectively. This is especially advantageous in densely populated city centres.

Nexans: 2010 First-Quarter Financial Information


* Confirmation that activity in the first three months of the year has held steady in a difficult operating context.
* Upturn anticipated in the second quarter 2010.
* Operating margin expected in the range of 4% at June 30, 2010.
* 2010 operating margin higher than expected on June 30.

Regulatory News:

Nexans (Paris:NEX) today announced 2010 first-quarter sales of 1.350 billion euros, 971 million euros at current non-ferrous metal prices*, down 11.1% at constant exchange rates and comparable scope.

After four quarters of negative growth in 2009, sales stabilized in the first months of 2010 at a level close to that of the fourth quarter 2009, especially in Europe and North America, while the figure rose by nearly 10% in the MERA (Middle East, Russia and Africa) area.

While medium and low voltage Energy infrastructure suffered severely from particularly unfavorable weather conditions in the first quarter, special cables for industry and LAN cables both reported a net upturn compared with the fourth quarter 2009, confirming the positive signs observed at the end of last year. Building remains very weak in a context of declining market prices.

Finally, despite the sharp rise in copper prices, the Group's net debt was 197 million euros on March 31, 2010, compared with 362 million euros on March 31, 2009.

In the first quarter, the Group finalized the restructuring operations begun in the second half 2009, especially in France, furthering its efforts to lower the Group's breakeven, and continued to streamline its production facilities. Fixed costs are down by 6% at constant exchange rates compared with what they were at the end of March 2009. Additionally, the Group rolled out a series of marketing and manufacturing initiatives that should contribute to a structural improvement in its operational profitability.

* To neutralize the effect of variations in the purchase price of non-ferrous metals and therefore measure the underlying sales trend, Nexans also calculates its sales using a constant price for copper and aluminum.

** 2009 sales on the basis of comparable data correspond to constant non-ferrous metal sales, recalculated after adjustments for exchange rates. The exchange effect on sales at constant non-ferrous metal prices is 48 million euros.

ENERGY

First-quarter 2010 energy sales came to 810 million euros. At constant exchange rates, they were down 12.1% compared with the first quarter 2009.

* Energy infrastructure: soft investment in networks in Brazil and North America was compounded by particularly unfavorable weather conditions in Europe.

Sales at constant exchange rates and comparable scope contracted by 12.8% compared with the first quarter 2009 and by 8.5% compared with the final quarter 2009.

This contraction reflects weaker activity at the start of the year in Australia, North America and Brazil. In the latter country, the successive deferrals of certain infrastructure projects have resulted in a significant drop in the workload at the Group's plants compared with the situation at the end of the same quarter 2009 when activity was particularly strong.

In Europe, the situation varies significantly between countries: sales in Northern Europe have fallen due to the unfavorable weather conditions; in Germany, utilities have continued to apply the brakes on investment; whereas in France, sales rose by nearly 23% bolstered by strong domestic demand and increased sales to Africa.

Sales in the MERA zone were also up sharply, especially due to the gradual ramp-up of the Group's Russian unit.

For high voltage, first-quarter 2010 sales were comparable to the same period a year earlier. The Group expects to sign some significant contracts in the next coming weeks.

With regard to submarine cables, the good level of tenders points to an increase in the order backlog in the years ahead. Adapting the production facilities and the rollout of additional investments are the keys to maintain this activity's profitability.

* Industry: initial signs of recovery in the latter months of 2009 confirmed

Sales at constant exchange rates and comparable scope rose 3.3% compared with the first quarter 2009 and by 9.5% against the final quarter of the same year, thereby confirming the stronger activity observed at the end of last year.

Harnesses activities, mainly for the automotive industry, rose by more than 44% compared with the first quarter 2009 and by 17.5% compared with the trend at the end of last year.

Special cables for industry rose 5.6% compared with the last quarter 2009, back to more or less the same level as the first quarter 2009, after dropping steadily throughout 2009. After a particularly sharp freefall in 2009, cables for the robot industry reported their best quarter for a year. The restructuring operations implemented by Nexans in 2009 in Germany, and to a lesser extent in France, helped stabilize the situation. Nonetheless, the Group is still continuing its efforts to streamline production between France and Germany to ensure a more even workload distribution between its various European production sites. Sales of cables to the transportation sector (excluding automotive) remain strong. Rail, aeronautics, shipbuilding and offshore continue on their upward trend.

Finally, activity seems to be picking up again for nuclear power plant cables, which should help boost the workload at certain plants in the coming months.

* Building: activity remains very weak in a context of declining prices compared with second half 2009

Building cable sales in the first quarter 2010 are up slightly compared with the fourth quarter 2009, but down sharply compared with the first quarter 2009. This stabilization is undermined by prices trending down compared with 2009 levels. This should lead to undermining this segment's contribution to the Group's operating margin in the first half 2010.

In Europe, the Group's main markets (France, Belgium and the Scandinavian countries) are all reporting sales down by between 12% and 17% compared with the first quarter 2009. The UK and Spanish markets are continuing to fall with sales down by nearly 40% compared with the first quarter 2009.

In the other countries, with the exception of Australia, sales rose compared with the previous quarter and with the first quarter 2009.

TELECOM

First-quarter 2010 Telecom sales came to 96 million euros. At constant exchange rates, they were down 7.7% compared with the first quarter 2009.

* Telecom infrastructure: operators defer investments

Sales dropped 19.3% at constant exchange rates and comparable scope compared with the first quarter 2009.

This activity, mainly in Europe, suffered from operators deferring copper cable and fiber optic cable investment projects. Projects involving the rollout of fiber optic had already slowed significantly in 2009 and did not manage to regain their past level in the first quarter 2010.

* Private networks (LAN): upturn in the United States confirmed

In the first quarter 2010, LAN cable activity posted organic growth rates of about 3% compared with the first and last quarters 2009.

In the United States, where this activity had in particular suffered from the economic slowdown, the upturn is especially strong. First-quarter 2010 sales in the United States have outpaced the previous quarter by more than 8.6%, and by nearly 20% compared with the first three months of 2009.

In Europe, the 4%-plus growth in systems sales compared with the first quarter 2009 was not sufficient to offset the ongoing contraction in sales of low end cables in France. In this first quarter, the Group finalized the adaptation plan started last September at its main plant.

ELECTRICAL WIRES: improved fit between the Group's production facilities and its needs

Following the European restructuring it has conducted, the Group's production facilities in Europe now provide a better fit with its internal needs.

In Canada and Chile, electrical wire activity is growing due to the recovery of the automotive and household appliance sectors.

The return to breakeven announced at the end of 2009 is confirmed.

OUTLOOK

In line with its initial expectations, the Group confirms that the first quarter has been difficult (although stable compared with last quarter 2009), which will penalize profitability in the first half 2010.

The second quarter should see a sizeable upturn in activity, due to the end of the unfavorable weather conditions and the tangible signs of recovery noted in industrial sectors, LAN, and even in the North American building cable market.

Given this situation, the Group foresees negative organic growth of 4% to 5% and an operating margin in the range of 4% at June 30, 2010. The level of sales should continue to improve in the second semester, together with a stronger operating margin.

Nexans Completes Offshore Cable Contract for Espirito Santo FPSO
Nexans
|
Monday, April 26, 2010

Nexans has completed a 3 million Euro contract for SBM Offshore (Single Buoy Moorings) to manufacture and supply the specialized offshore power, control and instrumentation cables for the conversion of the Espirito Santo FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessel serving the BC-10 deep water field development in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil.

Working under a tight delivery schedule, the Nexans factory in Lyon (France) manufactured over 500 kilometers of specialized halogen-free, fire-safe offshore cable for the FPSO conversion project carried out by SBM Offshore in Singapore. The double-hulled Espirito Santo has significant power and heat delivery systems to drive the subsea systems and process crude oil, with a production capacity of 100,000 BOEPD (Barrels of Oil Equivalent Per Day).

Nexans delivered the Espirito Santo cables under ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) approval scheme. They include high voltage 12/20kV rated power cables together with low voltage power, control and instrumentation cables designed specifically to SBM Offshore's requirements. A key feature is their halogen-free design that ensures fire-safety since the cables will not propagate any fire while producing limited smoke in such fire event. Furthermore, the smoke spread is non-toxic for people working on-board and is non-corrosive so that it does not damage vital electronic circuits, allowing the FPSO safety functions to operate for longer duration in the case of emergency.

"The success of the Espirito Santo FPSO contract is a perfect illustration of Nexans' capability to meet demanding project schedules and ensure delivery on-time and on-budgets," said Salvatore Di Giorgio, Nexans Global Segment Manager for offshore topside activities. "It also demonstrates our global support for offshore projects; working in cooperation with SBM Offshore's engineering team in Monaco, manufacturing in France for delivery and installation in Singapore and Brazil."

Following on from the success of the Espirito Santo project, Nexans has secured a new contract to supply the cables for the Jubarte FPSO that will serve the BC-57 deep water field development, also in the Campos Basin. SBM Offshore will carry out the conversion in Singapore, and the cables will be supplied by the Nexans Ficap manufacturing facility in Brazil.

STROMMARKT DER ZUKUNFT
Kabelkonzern Nexans analysiert zukünftige Energie-Autobahnen


Hannover/Frankfurt am Main, 04.05.2010 10:54 Uhr (Wirtschaftsredaktion)

Mit wissen­schaft­li­cher Methodik hat der welt­größte Kabel­kon­zern Nexans in Deutsch­land den Strom­markt analy­siert und zieht eine erstaun­liche Schluss­fol­ge­rung: "Wir brau­chen neue Helden, die den Markt für die Zukunft rüsten."

Um die Entwicklung des Strommarktes in Deutschland vordenken zu können, hat Nexans die Prozessabläufe im Bereich der Energieversorgungsunternehmen untersucht und 61 komplexe Leistungen von der Planung einer Stromtrasse bis zum Ende ihrer Lebenszeit definiert. Wie schon für die Automobilindustrie und die Bahnlogistik entwickelt Nexans daraus jetzt für den Stromtransport eine neue Leistungseinheit, die intern den Arbeitstitel "Schlüsselfertige Projekte" trägt.

Dr. Francis Krähenbühl ist Vorstandsmitglied des ZVEI, Zentralverband der Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie, Frankfurt
Dr. Francis Krähenbühl ist Vorstandsmitglied des ZVEI, Zentralverband der Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie, Frankfurt
"Wenn für die Stromversorgung von morgen große Energie-Autobahnen entstehen sollen, dann erfordert die Energie-Infrastruktur ein neues Denken und innovative Modelle", erklärt Dr. Francis Krähenbühl, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung Nexans Deutschland und Executive Vice President Zentraleuropa.

Der Startschuss für die Windparks in Nord- und Ostsee zeige die Aufbruchstimmung, heißt es im Nexans-Konzern, der mit einem 100-Mio.-Euro-Auftrag für die unterseeischen Hochspannungskabel des weltweit größten Offshore-Windparks London Array in das Jahr startete. Seit 2006 hat sich der Marktanteil von Nexans im Offshore-Windenergiebereich verdreifacht.

Vordenker
"Angesichts der Förderpolitik in Europa wird die Bedeutung noch erheblich zunehmen. Die Technologie steht bereit, doch jetzt müssen die Strukturen an die Zukunft angepasst werden", betont Krähenbühl. Er zählt die Komponenten des Stromnetzes in Deutschland derzeit zu den besten weltweit; sie weisen die geringste Fehlerrate in ganz Europa auf. Anders jedoch die Struktur des Netzes.

"Die Stromproduktion konzentriert sich zunehmend auf bestimmte Orte, die Energie wird über immer mehr und längere Strecken transportiert, für die neuen Windparks brauchen wir Nord-Süd-Achsen. Zugleich werden im¬mer mehr Energienetze miteinander verkoppelt. Auf der ganzen Welt ist bereits die Häufigkeit von Stomausfällen enorm gestiegen." Genau an den Schnittstellen von Pro¬duktion und Verteilung der Energie aber liegen laut Krähenbühl die neuralgischen Punkte.

Smart Grid Weißbuch
Diese Schwachstellen rufen nach neuen, intelligenten Verteilerformen, den sogenannten Smart Grids, zu denen Nexans im März das "Smart Grid Weißbuch" mit neuen Netzkonzepten vorgestellt hat. "Zum raschen Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien gehört auch deren Integration in ein leistungsfähiges Stromnetz", betont Krähenbühl, der deshalb im letzten Jahr die Prozessabläufe beim Stromtransport untersuchen ließ.

Ausgangspunkt der Analyse sind die Abläufe aus Sicht der Energieversorger. "Zunächst haben wir 61 Leistungseinheiten zur Erstellung einer Stromtrasse definiert", erklärt Diplom-Kauffrau Heike Schütte, die sich in Zusammenarbeit mit Nexans an der Fachhochschule Osnabrück mit der Schaffung von Mehrwerten beim Energietransport befasst hat. Die Kosten analysierte sie auf TCO-Basis: "Total cost of ownership heißen alle Kosten, die für ein Produkt anfallen, vom Nachdenken über den Kauf bis zu den Folgekosten. Die Anschaffung selbst macht nur maximal 50 Prozent aus", erklärt die Fachfrau.

Eisberg-Modell
Daraus abgeleitet hat sie das "Eisberg-Modell": Die Anschaffungskosten bilden auf Position 1 die Spitze des Eisbergs, während 16 weitere Kostenstellen unter der Oberfläche lauern. "Das wird die neuen Strukturen bestimmen, denn Deutschland steht mit seinen Ausbauplänen vor einer grundlegenden Umgestaltung der Stromnetze", erklärt Krähenbühl.

So haben die Kabelhersteller z.B. die Entwicklung von Hybridleitungen voran getrieben, die in Außenbereichen Freileitungen vorsehen, im Umfeld von Wohnbebauung jedoch unterirdisch als Kabelsysteme fortlaufen. Der Umwelt dient das doppelt: Hochbaumaßnahmen und somit Genehmigungsfristen können drastisch redu¬ziert werden, zugleich optimiert das Monitoring von Strom und Spannung die Stromausbeute für den Verbraucher.

Zum Bau von Hybridleitungen jedoch braucht der Energieversorgunger bisher zahlreiche verschiedene Fachdisziplinen, z.B. für Tiefbau, Masten und Kabel. "Die Lücken dazwischen bilden ideale Verstecke für Kosten, die keinen Vergleich erlauben", hat Heike Schütte klar gemacht. Zudem würden die Projekte so zur Unzeit personalintensiv. Wie bei der Bahntechnologie, wo das Kunden-TCO-Modell Einsparungen bis zu 40 Prozent ermöglicht hat, will Nexans nun auch beim Energietransport die Weichen neu stellen.

"Dazu brauchen wir Baugeneralisten, die Energietransport-Projekte interdisziplinär erfassen und leiten können", erklärt Krähenbühl. Das Ziel: "Weniger Gesamtkosten bei höherer Wertschöpfung - wir sind auf dem Weg."

Nexans welcomes selection of GG45 in new ISO data centre standard

* United Arab Emirates: 5 hours, 29 minutes ago
* PRESS RELEASE

Nexans, global expert in cables and cabling solutions, has welcomed the latest data centre standard from the international standards organisation ISO. The standard, ISO/IEC 24764, was published in April and requires copper cabling to support a minimum frequency of at least 500MHz.

This effectively limits data centre copper cabling to Class EA (500MHz), Class F (600MHz) or Class FA 1000MHz) cabling and an RJ45 compatible connector interface.

"Nexans is delighted that our GG45 connector was re-elected as the interface for Class F and Class FA. The new standard is important as it harmonises the requirements for copper cable and connectors used for data centres with the same products defined for use in office buildings. This new data centre standard will help our customers in the Middle East to ensure that their data centres are ready to handle bandwidths of 40G and more, not only with fibre, but also with copper cabling solutions" says Tarek Helmy, Regional Director Gulf and Middle East of Nexans Cabling Solutions.

The new data centre standard specifies the use of IEC 60603-7 RJ45 compatible connectors for copper cabling and specifically the IEC 60603-7-71 GG45 connector for Cat 7 and Cat 7A cabling. Only in installations where cable sharing is used inside of data centres are other interfaces allowed.

Martin Rossbach, Director Product Marketing for Nexans said: "Once again ISO has recognised the importance of backwards compatibility for data centre design, and specified a connector which provides this. The specified IEC 60603-7-71 connector is the Nexans' GG45 connector, which is compatible with all RJ45 legacy equipment and also allows organisations to future-proof their data centres by supporting bandwidths of 40G and higher."

Ghana: Nexans to Tap Into Ghana's Oil Discovery

Daniel Nonor

18 October 2010


Nexans, a top global cable manufacturer, will scale up its investments in Ghana in readiness to tap into opportunities in the emerging oil industry, the company's Chairman and Chief Executive Office, Frederic Vincent has said.

Speaking in an interview with a cross section of journalists during a duty tour of the country, Mr Vincent said its local unit, Nexans Kabelmetal Ghana Ltd, was offering training, upgrading machines and learning more about specifications in order to get the staff ready for the transition into manufacturing cables for the oil and gas sector when opportunities presented itself.

While in the country, the Nexans Chairman and CEO held talks with key state organisations in the energy and infrastructure sectors and also met with a team of Nexans staff who were on strategic global leadership training in Ghana.

His visit was also part of a tour of some of the company's production sites as part of a global strategy by the company to weather the global economic crisis, and maintain its position as market leaders, controlling seven per cent of the worldwide cable market with over €5 billion revenues of sales in the highly fragmented market. In Ghana, Nexans leads in the manufacture and supply of cables to the local market and for export.

"The company is providing the necessary training and future development in the industry, meeting specifications and benchmarks," he said.

Nexans is the world leader in cable manufacturing and supply. It is specialised in production and supply of cables and cabling solutions for the infrastructure, industry, building and the local area network (LAN) markets, employing a total of 22,700 people, including those in Ghana.

The company plans to invest 1.3 million dollars in the local unit in the next three years in readiness for meeting future needs and development in the country. This will complement the 1.5 million dollars invested in replacing old machinery with brand new ones and building the human resource capacity.

Mr. Vincent said the aim was to enhance and create local content through leveraging on the company's global brand for the benefit of local units, adding that the company's emphasis would be on the future development in oil and gas industry, in which it is already a major player.

Also, the company's presence in Ghana fitted perfectly into its global strategy of meeting the energy resource needs of countries, especially those which were embarking on active programmes of electrification to enhance industrial development.

In this connection, the Electricity Company of Ghana utility programmes present to the company a huge opportunity, especially as ECG is both a shareholder and customer. Nexans Ghana is owned 51 per cent by Nexans Global, 25 per cent by the National Investment Bank (NIB) and 24 per cent by the ECG.

Mr. Vincent said the commercial development of transmission or distribution of electricity was really basis for development. "Ghana is part of strategy to expand growth that is profitable growth to ensure value for shareholders," Mr. Vincent said, adding that the company is targeting between 5 and 10 percent growth in the country this year.

On how the company was able to avoid going down during the financial crisis, Mr Vincent said it was because of the company's strong financial position and continued investment into research and innovation to ensure increased market share.

In addition, the company is investing about 200 million Euros per year, in researching into fully sophisticated cables, innovation in flexible renewable energy and making acquisitions in emerging markets.

He said the African wide market was important as there was increasing interest of investors in the continent as the business investment destination.

Nexans focuses on three main businesses of energy (infrastructure), building and oil and gas. Infrastructure, which include high, medium, low voltage energy cables, data cables constitutes 52 per cent of the company's business; industry which comprises handling cables, ultra-cold marine cables, umbilicals for the oil and gas industry, locomotive, aircraft also constitutes 20 per cent, while building involving control cables, telecommunication cables, fire-safety cables, and cables for wiring various buildings also constitute 28 per cent of Nexans Global business.

By Greg Roumeliotis

AMSTERDAM, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Nexans, the world's biggest cable maker, is in danger of seeing its offer for Dutch rival Draka slip through its fingers, as it did for Prysmian, if it does not improve the terms of the deal.

In the summer of 2009, Italy's Prysmian, the No.2 cable maker, made a failed bid for Draka as the company's share price galloped beyond its reach -- from 8 euros to more than 14 euros -- while negotiations dragged on for more than two months.

Last week, Nexans said it would offer 15 euros per share for Nexans, which would value the company at 731 million euros ($1.03 billion).

However, shares had already soared by 50 percent since early September, when investors began speculating there was interest from Nexans, and the price has been hovering above 15 euros since a Dutch newspaper reported on Oct. 14 that Nexans was speaking to a major Draka shareholder.

'I believe the market has to a large extent priced in a likely rejection of Nexans's offer by Draka's management, given that it has been eight days since the official announcement, and a positive share reaction for Draka of 5 to 6 percent is likely (were the offer to be officially rejected),' SNS Securities analyst Martijn den Drijver said.

Nexans said it had started talks with Draka on a deal and a Draka spokesman declined to comment on when the company would announce its reaction.

Analysts and investors said the proposed offer was too low and needed to be raised if the French company wanted to avoid the same fate as Prysmian.

'This is just the starting point and I think Nexans' offer would have to be seriously higher before other Draka shareholders tendered their shares,' said Jack Jonk, head of equities at Delta Lloyd Asset Management, whose stake in Draka is a little over 2 percent.

ABN AMRO analyst Maarten Bakker agreed.

'I don't believe Nexans can succeed at its current offer level of 15 euros per share and (it) is likely to raise its offer,' said Bakker said, adding that even without synergies, Draka was worth at least 20 euros per share.

HOW HIGH IS TOO HIGH?

Nexans is considering a rights issue to fund its takeover of Draka, but with net debt of only 277 million euros, a cash call may not be required. Any downgrading of its BB+ credit rating would likely be limited to one notch, Standard&Poor's said.

ABN AMRO'S Bakker estimates that Nexans could pay up to 17.5 euros per share for Draka if its the offer is solely financed by debt and more than 20 euros per share if it uses an equity issue.

But SNS's Den Drijver cautioned that an offer beyond 17 euros per share would be a very challenging pitch for Nexans to make to its management board, as any synergies with Draka are unlikely to be realised quickly.

Nexans, which is being advised by BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole, has wooed Draka shareholder Flint Beheer, the investment vehicle of the wealthy Fentener Van Vlissingen family. Flint has conditionally agreed to tender its 48.5 percent stake in a Nexans bid for Draka.

Flint, which is advised by Lazard, bought Draka from Philips in 1986 and listed it in 1991. It also came close to selling its stake in the summer of 2009 when Prysmian was in talks with Draka about an all-share offer.

Prysmian said last week it was not in contact with Draka anymore, denting market speculation it could counter Nexans' bid, and market participants said they did not expect a bid from anyone else.

ABN AMRO's Bakker said Draka shareholders should get a premium of 6 euros per share in a takeover for synergies that include merging and streamlining manufacturing and sale operations, and bolstering raw materials purchasing power.

The current offer, he said, is worth only 5.2 times Draka's enterprise value to projected 2011 core profit.

In the power cable segment, Nexans would help Draka consolidate its presence in the fragmented low-voltage market and combine it with its high-margin high-voltage offering, tapping into demand for replacing aging power infrastructure.

Draka is also a market leader in elevator cables. It has designed and provided cables for the 58 lifts of the world's tallest skyscraper, Dubai's Burj Khalifa, which towers some 828 metres above ground.

DJ DER AKTIONÄR Tipp des Tages: Freunde der Sonne


Sonnenenergie aus Afrika, Windstrom aus der Nordsee oder Wasserkraft aus
Nordeuropa - saubere Energie gibt es genug. Nur muss der Strom immer weitere
Wege zur heimischen Steckdose zurücklegen. Entscheidend ist daher der Ausbau
der Netze.
Allein in Europa sind in den nächsten Jahren gleich mehrere leistungsfähige
"Supergrids" geplant. Aktuelles Projekt ist etwa das ,,Nord.Link", welches
norwegische Wasserkraftwerke mit deutschen Haushalten verbinden soll.
Insgesamt hätte allein der Aufbau des "North Sea Supergrid" ein Volumen von
bis zu 30 Milliarden Euro.
Wasser, Wind und Solar
Beste Chancen, weitere Aufträge aus solchen - in diesen Tagen politisch
besonders hofierten - Projekten zu erhalten, hat der Kabelhersteller Nexans
#WKN 676 168#. Die Franzosen haben sich der Lobbyorganisation "Friends of
the Supergrid" angeschlossen und können bereits beste Referenzen vorweisen.
So erhielt Nexans erst Anfang dieses Jahres den Auftrag, Dänemark mit
Norwegen zu verkabeln. Auch mit der Verlegung von Unterseekabeln zwischen
Malta und Sizilien unterstreicht der Hersteller von Industrie- und
Energiekabeln sein Know-how. Dazu gehört der Einsatz eigener Spezialschiffe,
welche die Leitungen für Offshore-Windkraftanlagen am Meeresboden
installieren.
Vor allem in der Entwicklung extrem leistungsfähiger Kabel - welche künftig
selbst aus Afrika Strom nach Europa bringen könnten - macht Nexans
Fortschritte. Zu den Produktneuheiten gehört zudem ,,Keylios", eine
Komplettlösung für die Vernetzung und den Netzanschluss von Solarprojekten.
Chapeau!
"Hut ab" auch hinsichtlich der operativen Dynamik. 2010 wurde der Überschuss
von 8 auf 82 Millionen Euro glatt verzehnfacht. Der Umsatz legte dabei um 23
Prozent auf 6,2 Milliarden Euro zu. Im nächsten Jahr soll sich der Gewinn um
weitere 30 Prozent erhöhen, womit das KGV bei moderaten 13 liegt.

naja, habe eigentlich mehrheitlich gute Erfahrungen mit Tipps von DER AKTIONÄR gemacht. Man darf halt nur nicht blindlings alles umsetzen sondern muss noch selbst Recherche zu der Aktie bzw. dem Unternehmen anstellen.

Bei NEXANS handelt es sich um ein weltweit operierendes Unternehmen mit sehr viel Know-How. Denke schon, dass NEXANS zukünftig stark von der weltweiten Energiewende profitieren wird.

Atomausstieg Elektro- und Kabelindustrie bereit für schnellen Aus- und Umbau des deutschen Stromnetzes

Autor: news aktuell | 31.03.2011, 15:46

Hannover (ots) - Nexans: Die deutsche Kabelindustrie ist gewappnet
für die enormen Herausforderungen des Netzausbaus, die der geplante
schnelle Ausstieg aus der Atomkraft mit sich bringt. Der
Weltmarktführer für Stromkabel erwartet noch größeren Bedarf an
zusätzlicher Netzkapazität und fordert Teilverkabelung, um den
Netzausbau möglichst schnell zu forcieren.

Angesichts der aktuellen Debatte um den geplanten Atomausstieg
weist Dr. Francis Krähenbühl, Vorsitzender der Geschäftsführung von
Nexans Deutschland, der deutschen Tochter des weltgrößten
Kabelherstellers Nexans, auf die besondere Rolle der deutschen
Elektro- und Kabelindustrie hin: "Die Herausforderungen sind riesig:
Mehrere tausend Kilometer neue Leitungstrassen müssen bis Ende des
Jahrzehnts gebaut sein, noch mehr regenerative Energiequellen noch
schneller als bisher schon geplant ins Netz integriert, dezentrale
und intelligente Strukturen schnell geschaffen werden. Der
Atomausstieg verschärft den Innovationsdruck noch einmal immens", so
Krähenbühl. "Die hiesige Kabelindustrie als Schlüsselbranche ist
diesen Herausforderungen jedoch gewachsen. Wir verfügen über die
nötigen Ressourcen, Kapazitäten und vor allem innovativen
Technologien, um den nötigen massiven Um- und Ausbau des deutschen
Stromnetzes zu realisieren - und damit einen Atom-Ausstieg bis
2020-2022, so wie von der Politik geplant, von der technischen Seite
zu ermöglichen."

Positiv sieht Krähenbühl deshalb grundsätzlich die aktuellen
politischen Weichenstellungen für den forcierten Netzausbau. "Das
geplante Netzausbaubeschleunigungsgesetz ("NABEG") des BMWi und das
"Aktionsprogramm Energieeffizienz und erneuerbare Energien" des
Bundesumweltministeriums können gute Voraussetzungen für den
´nationalen Kraftakt´ Netzausbau schaffen. Ohne diese massiven und
schnellen Investitionen besteht die ernsthafte Gefahr, dass
Deutschland zum Engpass im europäischen Stromnetz wird - und das kann
sich der Standort Deutschland nicht erlauben!"

Allerdings müsse die Politik parallel zum Ausbau auf
Höchstspannungsebene dringend den Umbau - die Modernisierung - der
Energieinfrastruktur vorantreiben: "Wir brauchen dringlich Smarter
Grids und neue Speicher, um die dezentralen regenerativen Energien
mit einzubinden. Passende technische Lösungen für intelligente Netze
hat die Elektro- und Kabelindustrie längst entwickelt." Das deutsche
Verteilnetz mit seinen mehr als 1,5 Millionen Kilometern Länge sei
lange Zeit vernachlässigt worden, so dass zum Beispiel die kommunalen
Unternehmen hier einen Investitionsbedarf von 25 Milliarden Euro bis
2030 erwarten: "Diese Zahlen, in denen die Entwicklung zu einem
echten Smart Grid noch nicht einmal enthalten ist, finden in der
aktuellen Debatte zum Netzaus- und Umbau kaum Erwähnung", so der
Nexans-Geschäftsführer.

Vor dem Hintergrund des Atomausstiegs erwartet Nexans zudem
größeren Bedarf auch an neuen Höchstspannungsleitungen, als zurzeit
diskutiert wird: "Die 3.600 km zusätzlich benötigten Netzkapazitäten
bis 2020, die von der Deutschen Energie-Agentur (Dena) prognostiziert
wurden und die momentane Diskussion bestimmen, könnten zu wenig
sein." Denn die der Prognose zugrundeliegenden Annahmen hätten sich
deutlich geändert: So wird noch mehr Öko-Strom z.B. aus geplanten
Offshore-Anlagen von Nord nach Süd transportiert werden müssen und im
Gegensatz zur Prognose sollen alle AKW komplett bis etwa 2020 vom
Netz sein. "Es empfiehlt sich deshalb eine Neubewertung des
tatsächlichen Bedarfs", sagt Krähenbühl.

Die aussichtsreichste Technik für einen wirklich raschen
Netzausbau im Zuge der neuesten energiepolitischen Entwicklungen ist
aus Sicht von Nexans die Teilverkabelung: "Sie hat längst ihre
Marktreife bewiesen und sollte überall dort, wo der Ausbau heute
gebremst wird und wo es sinnvoll ist, schnell zum Einsatz kommen. Die
Kabelindustrie steht für eine zeitnahe Umsetzung bereit."

Outlook for first half 2011 and confirmation of annual targets

Given confirmation of the strong recovery in sales volumes for almost all the Group’s businesses and the 13% organic increase in sales recorded in the first quarter 2011 (compared with the particularly weak first quarter 2010), the Group is expecting organic growth sales of 7% to 9% in first-half 2011 compared with the same period a year earlier. In this context, the Group anticipates a first-half 2011 operating margin rate in the range of 4.5% to 5%, compared with 4.0% at June 30, 2010.

The Group also confirms its annual target for organic growth in sales of more than 5% and an operating margin rate that should be about 5.5%, subject to satisfactory pass-through of price increases for plastics and components.

Lastly, Nexans indicates that in the framework of the agreement signed on March 27, 2011 with its main shareholder Madeco in a view of allow the latter a leading position in Nexans’ share capital, Madeco declared on May 27, 2011 that it has set up financial instruments that will eventually enable it to increase its position in Nexans share capital above the 15% threshold, at the earliest in August 2011 and at the latest in February 20121. The shareholders are asked to approve at today’s meeting the agreement signed with Madeco.

The reader is invited to consult the 2010 Reference Document on the Group’s Web site. This document presents the Group’s risk factors, in particular those relative to the competition surveys in Europe and in other countries, previously described in the press release issued on February 12, 2009.

Société Générale senkt Kursziel von € 74 auf 65 - wundert mich etwas, da man doch überall hört/liest, dass die Stromnetze dringend ausgebaut bzw. erneuert werden müssen, um die erneuerbare Energie effizient nutzen zu können?!?

Von daher denke ich, dass NEXANS als Weltmarktführer Kabel deutlich davon profitieren müsste, oder was meint Ihr? Haben die Bankanalysten dies noch nicht erkannt?

Bin gespannt, wie Ihr dies seht.

Nexans goes live on grid with world’s first fault current limiter based on second-generation superconductors

Following successful completion of long-term tests on a first generation SFCL at Vattenfall’s Boxberg plant in Germany, Nexans has returned to install a new second-generation device based on superconductor tapes


Paris, January 13, 2012 – Nexans, a worldwide leading expert in the cable industry, has successfully commissioned the world’s first resistive superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) based on second-generation superconductor tapes. The SFCL, equipped with superconducting elements developed in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, has been installed on behalf of Vattenfall Europe Generation AG to provide short-circuit protection for the internal medium voltage power supply that feeds coal mills and crushers in the Boxberg lignite power plant in Saxony, Germany.

A first generation SFCL, based on solid superconducting materials, was installed by Nexans at Boxberg in 2009 as part of a long-term test programme. Following the successful completion of this project, Nexans has returned to the plant for live testing of a new SFCL device featuring superconducting tapes. These tapes reduce the already low losses in the conductor material by around 90 percent, thereby lowering operating costs. They also provide an even faster response to a short circuit than the first generation materials.

“We now have a second superconductor material option for manufacturing power systems, and this will provide us with an even wider range of applications for our fault current limiters to help customers improve the safety of personnel and equipment while also reducing infrastructure costs. The upgrading and expansion of power networks to meet the fast-changing needs of our customers requires intelligent solutions and new functions,” explains Jean-Maxime Saugrain, Corporate Vice President Technical at Nexans. “The power plant’s house load is just one of many potential applications for SFCL technology. For example, in the renewable energy sector the capability to supply more power from renewable sources is frequently restricted by the level of the short circuit currents.”


Fast response to short-circuit currents

The current limiter works in a similar way to the low voltage safety cut-out in domestic homes, but operates on the medium/high voltage network. In addition, after operating, it does not interrupt the electricity flow completely. Under normal circumstances, its superconducting elements allow the electricity to flow unhindered and with practically no resistance. If a critical current level is exceeded, such as during a short circuit, the conductor drops out from its superconducting state within milliseconds to act as a strong electrical resistor. Only a precisely defined residual current will then flow. This enables the device to protect all the downstream components, such as switchgear, from the damaging overloading of a short circuit.

A key advantage of the SCL is its inherent safety, as it responds to a short circuit without an external trigger signal. Unlike pyrotechnic devices that need to be replaced after triggering, it can resume normal operation as soon as the short circuit fault is cleared and the material is able to return to its superconducting state.

The new SFCL is designed for a nominal current of 560 A at 12,000 V, but can also allow currents of up to 2,700 A to pass briefly without triggering the device. This is an important pre-requisite for operation so that the coal mills can draw a high current on start-up without experiencing any problems.


Coated conductors provide the core elements of the limiter

The new current limiter is based on superconducting tapes made of YBCO (yttrium barium copper oxide) also known as coated conductors. At temperatures lower than -180°C the thin ceramic layer becomes superconducting and can conduct electricity approximately 10,000 times better than copper.

The current limiting components based on second-generation superconducting tapes were developed over the past two years as part of the ENSYSTROB project. The project partners are Nexans SuperConductors GmbH, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the Cottbus and Dortmund Universities of Technology and the energy group Vattenfall. The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology provided the project with financial backing of about €1.3 million.

Nexans scores Ichthys LNG CPF deal

Paris-based Nexans said it has been awarded a €11.5 million contract by Samsung Heavy Industries to supply about 2,200 km of halogen-free instrumentation and electrical cables for the Inpex’s Ichthys central processing facility.

Delivery of the cables, which will power the CPF, already started and will be completed by the end of this year, Nexans said in a statement.

Cables are being manufactured at Nexans’ Kukdong plant in Jincheon, Korea.

The Ichthys CPF will be the world’s largest semi-submersible platform. Its large floating central processing facility is a column-stabilised, offshore semi-submersible production unit supporting a hydrocarbon processing system and utilities, as well as living quarters for about 200 people.

Once complete, the CPF will be located at the Ichthys field off the Australian Northwest coast.

The CPF is currently being constructed at the Samsung Heavy Industries shipyard in South Korea.
