Metalworking Solutions
& Services Group sales decreased by 52% from the prior year quarter, driven by an organic sales decline of 45%.
Global industrial production remained extremely weak and substantially below the prior year continuing the further downturn
in industrial activity experienced in the March quarter. Consequently, demand in most market sectors remained at very low
levels.
On a regional basis, Europe and North America reported organic sales declines of 47% and 46%, respectively,
for the June quarter. Latin America, India and Asia Pacific also experienced organic sales declines of 44%, 43% and 37%, respectively.
Advanced Materials Solutions Group sales decreased 37% during the June quarter, driven by a 38% organic decline. The
organic decline was primarily a result of lower sales in the engineered products business, as well as reduced demand for energy
related products and surface finishing machines and services.
Kennametal Inc. is a global supplier of tooling,
engineered components and advanced materials consumed in production processes.
