Automodular continues to be impacted by industry and program risk and may experience further downtime in its operations as OEMs seek to balance inventory levels. Overall, the Company anticipates profitable operations for the balance of 2006 and improved results in 2007 as its new Oakville operation enters its first full year of production.
Automodular is a supplier of sub-assembly, sequencing, transportation and logistics services to six OEM plants in Ontario, Michigan and Ohio. The Company has eight operating facilities and employs over 800 people. |
