("Tricorn" or the "Group")

Contract Win

Tricorn Group plc (AIM: TCN.L), the AIM listed tube manipulation specialist, is pleased to announce that Maxpower Automotive UK , part of the Group's Transportation Division, has signed a 5 year Long Term Agreement ("LTA") with a major British construction equipment manufacturer.

The LTA is expected to generate circa GBP10m of revenue for the Group over its duration, based on the current predicted volumes. The agreement is to supply rigid tube assemblies used in high pressure hydraulic applications. Maxpower Automotive UK will invest approximately GBP0.25m in additional manufacturing capability at its facility at West Bromwich to support the contract.

David Leakey, Sales Director of Tricorn, commented. "Having a core skills base close to the customer's business, as well as an expanding international presence, was key to us securing this significant contract win. On the back of this we can now build upon the high pressure, hydraulic tube capabilities that were first established at our USA operation."
