Welding is driven by:
• Better materials
• Safety and productivity
• Environment
• Customer service
• Brand
Welding complexities:
• Product range
• Channels
• Regional preferences
• Technology
ESAB: the world of welding
19© CHARTER 2011
ESAB: Welding consumables – the electrode
• The traditional welding consumable used in manual welding
applications.
• The welding electrode can be a very advanced product;
approximately 60% of ESAB’s electrode sales are in welding critical applications requiring advanced technology and
stringent process control.
• In Europe and North America, process conversion away from electrodes to wire is advanced, however a core volume of
electrode demand remains for specialist applications.
• In emerging markets, usage of electrodes is more widespread
and ESAB is looking to grow market share in these markets,
partly through technology transfer.
20© CHARTER 2011
ESAB: Welding consumables – welding wire
• The welding consumable used in automated welding applications.
• Includes solid wires, and also flux-cored wires.
• A more standardised product than electrodes, but
ESAB has developed a range of technologically advanced proprietary products.
• The Marathon PacTM wire delivery system can offer
truly non-stop production in robot applications, such as automotive production lines.

Howden: Strategic objectives
• Charter’s strategy for Howden:
– Decreasing revenues from new equipment for coal-fired power
– Increasing revenues from compressors
– Increasing revenues from the aftermarket
– Increasing the proportion of revenues from higher growth economies
43© CHARTER 2011
Howden: steps taken to reposition the business
• Rationalised product range
– 2002: wide range of fans (including HVAC) and other products
– 2011: tightly focussed on engineered fans and compressors
• Coal-fired power
– 2002: depressed conditions
– 2011: strong long-term outlook for power, especially in China and India
• Compressor business
– 2002: small
– 2011: likely to account for around one-quarter of revenues
44© CHARTER 2011
Howden: steps taken to reposition the business (continued)
• Manufacturing
– 2002: integrated general manufacturing from steel fabrication to assembly
– 2011: emphasis on design, value-added manufacture, installation and service, with
extensive outsourcing
• Aftermarket
– 2011: revenues represent one-third of Howden’s total; the business is well positioned
to benefit from high sales of new equipment in recent years
• Global coverage
– Howden’s business is spread across the world, assisted by recent developments in
India (L&T joint venture) and Brazil (new facility)
